Description daviddowd 2014-03-30 01:11:31 UTC
In Find and Replace menu item:
I would like to be able to search for and replace special characters
(Paragraph marks, carriage returns, spaces, etc.).
It should also allow one to highlight the offending special characters and paste them into the search boxex.
Word can do that.
Thanx!!

Hello,

I am glad version 4 has arrows as well as the symbols for male and female. However, one crucial disadvantage compared to office 2003 is a user-definable shortcut key. For example, on my old xp laptop with said word version, I defined alt +uu/dd as a shortcut for an up/down arrow. Thus I could easily note that x/y was increasing/decreasing.

Best wishes and keep up the good work
Nick
