Default Search+replace all --- [3 dashes] with square wingding
Also the square wingding size should be 2 lines.
Thanks for helping.

What application is this for? We have separate forums for Word, Excel etc. but you've posted in the generic Office forum.

Right at the top of this forum is a thread titled '*** Do not post WORD questions here! ***'...

I'll move it to the correct forum.

To do this, I'd suggest inserting the Wingding somewhere in the document, all correctly formatted. Then copy it and use Find/Replace, where:
Find = ---
Replace = ^c

I'm not sure, though, what you mean about the two lines - characters can only occupy only one logical line, though you can raise/lower characters via the Format>Font>Advanced dialogue. Even then, however, you may need to increase the paragraph line height to get the desired effect.

Default Search+Replace with wingding didn't work, Paul
Insert > Symbol > More Symbols > Wingdings [square]

highlight&copy

replace > find what: --- , Replace with: paste [wingding square]

replace all

It does find all occurrences of --- but replace with an upright rectangle,
which I believe means "undefined character"
I have tried with other wingdings [2], [3]

Any idea?
Thank You

I tried this and originally it worked on a few of them then I get a message I can't insert this format in a table???
I started over and now it won't work at all...any suggestions?

Is there a reason you're not using the Replace expression I posted?

Almost there Paul...
the "replace with" font format was missing
wingding size and style and color ok now,
the shape of wingding not yet...

Done...thank you Paul.
I am also able to modify size, color and style of the wingding.
The problem was that "search and replace" maintains the previous settings when it is closed. I didn't notice that I was just accumulating settings.
Thanks for your input.

You can clear those by clicking on the 'No Formatting' button.

Without knowing what you're copying for the F/R, it's impossible to say.
