Cntl F and replace / Word / paragraph

[datadan]

I would like to search my Word document for all occurrances of the paragraph symbol and replace these with a ", " (comma space).

I am trying to create a comma delimitted file.

Thanks for your help

datadan,
In the replace window, click on the More option. Then select special. Paragraph symbol is an option. Then just type in your , space in the replace spot.
Good luck,
AngO

Once you've hit Ctl-F, go to the REPLACE tab, then the MORE button, then the SPECIAL button and insert the paragraph mark (or simply type ^p where the ^ is a SHIFT-6) in the FIND WHAT box and a , in the REPLACE WITH box and let 'er rip.

Be advised that if you have two paragraphs in a row you'll end up with two commas in a row. What you CAN do is replace ^p^p with ^p FIRST to get down to only having single paragraphs. Unless you still need a paragraph separator between your lines.

Of course, you can also Save As Text and have whatever program you're IMPORTING to do the conversion to a comma delimited file.

Hope that helps,
