Need some assistance with Word, maybe Find and Replace?
Subject:Need some assistance with Word, maybe Find and Replace? From:"Joyce Fetterman" <Joycef -at- gtsoftware -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Wed, 20 Aug 2008 13:16:11 -0400
I have some OLD (1995) WordPerfect files that I need to convert to PDFs
for archiving purposes. I haven't had WP installed in several years, so
I was trying to open them with Word 2003.
The files open just fine, except that many (most?) of the paragraphs are
converting to a hanging indent. I don't expect anyone to ever need these
files so I'm not going to spend time fixing the paragraphs individually
(hundreds of pages), but if there's a quick way to get rid of the
hanging indent, that would make me happy.
I'm hoping that there's a way to use Find and Replace, but I don't know
how. Can anyone offer suggestions?
