Nancy, That is neat. Never heard of being able to do that. However, I typed in "one space" and the hard return was replaced with the words "one space". I then understood that what was meant was to hit the space bar once, leaving one empty space. Then the "Find and replace" function would replace the hard return with one empty space.

I forgot to add that some email programs will leave a space at the end of each line, so replacing with "one space" will sometimes make 2 spaces between the words. So if that happens, you can replace "spacespace" with "space" Courtney sitnah@cox.net ----- Original Message ----- From: <WoodyWoodworth@aol.com> > Nancy, > That is neat.
