"Fixing" a page with Styles
Hi...
Hope I'm in the right place... I have written a large macro that takes a 20 page Word document (software generated), gets rid of the information that is not needed and pares it down to a one or two page document. Problem is with all the changes made to the document what's left is not pretty. The document consists of tables and single line paragraphs and between each various amounts of empty space (lines). I asked the macro experts if they could help... but to a person, they all suggested applying Styles. SO.... how could I create and apply a style to space everything on the page evenly (i.e. one space ONLY between ALL objects (paragraphs and tables) on the page)? I am completely new to this concept... so be patient.... Thanking you in advance... J -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...ayout/200909/1 |

"Fixing" a page with Styles
If your original document contained multiple lines and you have been
removing text from the lines instead of removing the lines themselves then yes you will have a lot of empty paragraphs. You can use replace to remove empty paragraphs eg replace ^13{1,} with ^p with the wildcard option set Styles will not affect empty paragraphs, but they can now be used to format the text in thge layout you require. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org JulieJinky via OfficeKB.com wrote: Hi...

Mr. Mayor...
Thanks for this information... I will use it to learn more about styles/wildcards going forward (as suggested by the macro gurus...) Mentioning the macro gurus... One got back to me with some code that worked (after some tweaking)... If you're interested, I can post it... Thanks again for your help...
