Recommended Posts

Admin: Maybe in the wrong section but wasnt sure where i could post this.....so please move if neccessary

I have a document which is in a similar format as below:

Monday 01 January 2005 Tuesday 02 January 2005 Wednesday 03 January 2005 Thursday 04 January 2005....................

i want to replace 2005 with a new line. So it returns like this:

Monday 01 January

Tuesday 02 January

Wednesday 03 January

Thursday 04 January

Ive checked MS Word 2003 but cant figure out a way to do this.

Any idea?

Thanks

Use the Replace feature in the Edit menu

Some 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.

otherwise

You 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

Try

  • CTRL+F

to open the find and replace dialog

Then replace

  • space2005space

with the regular expression for Newline character

  • \n

or the regular expression for Carriage return character

  • \r

I don't use MS Word, but I'm fairly sure that it should be pretty close.

Note

space is just a single press of the space bar, not the word!
