oftentired Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Use the Replace feature in the Edit menuSome programs have a drop down box where you can select from special items such as new lines. In that case you would just select the new line and have no need for copy/paste action.otherwiseYou may need to copy to your clipboard a blank line line including a new line which you would paste into the area where you would put your replacement text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yzöwl Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 TryCTRL+Fto open the find and replace dialogThen replacespace2005spacewith the regular expression for Newline character\nor the regular expression for Carriage return character\rI don't use MS Word, but I'm fairly sure that it should be pretty close.Notespace is just a single press of the space bar, not the word!

dman Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 (Word 2000)In word click edit, replace. In "Find What" type 2005. In "Replace with" box type ^l (caret + lower case L), or click more, special, manual line break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
