Removal of index entries

Hello!

I would like to remove all index entries from my word-
document. Can anyone give me a hint, how to do this.

best regards
Hannes

Hi Hannes,

First display hidden text (click the ¶ button) so the XE fields are visible.
Then open the Replace dialog, enter
^19 XE
in the Find What box (be sure to include the space between the 9 and the X)
and leave the Replace With box empty, and click the Replace All button.

Jay, how would the mortals among us have known that? What I'm
asking, I guess, is What is the "19," and where would one have
looked to find it?

Remove spaces, and substitute digits for the words between " ' "

You can also use ^d. These codes can be inserted using the Special button in
the Find and Replace dialog. See also “WD97: Control Codes to Use with Find
and Replace (Edit Menu)” at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=197855

g The ^19 code is something I learned from one of Woody Leonhard's books
about 10 years ago, in Word 2.0 long before there was a Special button. For
some reason it stuck in my mind better than ^d.

Another one that's worth remembering is ^13 for a paragraph mark. Although
you can usually use ^p instead, only the numeric code works in the Find What
box when you're using wildcards (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/UsingWildcards.htm).

Wow. I have stumbled over that stupid limitation with wildcards so
often. And now you tell me the solution is so simple!

One cannot help but wonder, if Word's wildcard search mechanism can
actually handle paragraph marks after all, why for all the world would
MS want to hide that capability from us?

Not to mention that ^13 will find those weird
paragraph-marks-that-aren't-paragraph-marks (CR without LF?) that you
sometimes get in Web or DOS text.
