Delete-to-End-of File Command
Many pre-Windows word processors and editors came with a
very convenient command that let the user delete text from the current point of the cursor to the end of the file. M/S Word never put this feature in. What an oversight! Another nice thing M/W Windows denies users is the abililty to Find one or more words in a line. Some CP/M utilities did this. Are there such supplementary applications or programs for Windows users? Thanks. JLoui |

JLoui Hi JLoui The Delete to End of Document command can be created as the following macro (see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm) and assigned to a keystroke: Public Sub DeleteToEndOfDoc() Dim oRg As Range Set oRg = Selection.Range oRg.End = ActiveDocument.Range.End oRg.Delete Set oRg = Nothing End Sub You could use a wildcard search (http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm) to find words in the same paragraph. (Word doesn't really know what line things are in, because layout is done on the fly.) For example, to find "fox" and "dog" in the same paragraph, check the "Use wildcards" box in the Find dialog and use the Find expression fox[!^13]@dog The portion between the words is interpreted as "one or more characters that are not paragraph marks". -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Try Control+Shift+End to select from the cursor to the end of the document.
