![]() When I'm tidying up plain text files in Vim, the regular expression ^$ matches empty lines. How do I do this with the Special options in the Word 2010 Find and Replace dialog? |

Hi
Empty lines in Word will have a Paragraph mark assigned to them. You will see them when you click on the Show/Hide button. If you want to remove blank lines in a Word document then follow these steps: 1. On the Home tab of your document click on the Replace option at the right hand side of the toolbar. 2. In the Find box enter "^p^p" without the quotes. 3. In the Replace With box enter "^p" without the quotes. 4. Then press Alt+A. Do step 4 as many times as you need to until it find nothing to replace. This will remove ALL black lines from your Word document. Hope this helps. Good luck. Tony |
