Needing help on bulk replacing letters and characters in Word
In a document I am working on, it was OCR'd from a very large document (9,000 pages) that was previously in files with holes punched into each page.
Often during the OCR the holes were coming up as a Capital letter C followed by a return (as per the attached). If I just delete capital C's from the entire document I screw up many words. Is there a way I can only delete a capital C when it is immediately followed by a space, then a return?
I'm also hoping to remove situations where I have a return at the end of a line, followed by another return on the next line as per the attached I just want the document to have one return as per the first paragraph) rather than a return then another return as per the proceeding three lines. Any help with this one too would be awesome.
Another issue I have met is where tables have randomly been inserted into the document. Is there a way I can bulk remove the weird formatting symbols to get rid of the tables (see attached)?
Finally I have an issue where I need to bulk add next page section breaks everytime my document has the characters "/86 " (without the quotation marks). If I try to Control +H to do a bulk replace, then it won't allow me to add a section break.
Thanks in advance to all.
