It would seem that this would also be a problem getting files from others such as clients/community groups etc. If like me you're a sloppy typer then any text file or word file will be riddled with misplaced paragraph marks. I'm certainly guilty of it. Not sure how to go about the following but will give it a go. The approximate general approach, then, using Find/Replace in Publisher would be this: Handle the title page separately. For the rest, perform all of the following Search for all ¶ followed by a space, and turn them into something unique, such as %%nowrap%% Search for all ¶¶¶¶Text, delete the ¶¶¶¶, and assign a Heading 2 paragraph style. (I am having a problem with this step, so it needs some kind of modification. When I try to assign a paragraph style only [No Style] is available.) Search for all ¶¶ and turn them into something unique, such as %%break%% Search for all ¶ and replace with a single space Search for all %%break%% and turn them into a ¶ Search for all %%nowrap%% and turn them into a ¶ @walt.farrell Gave this a go as part of my learning experience worked well but didn't know how to apply 5. Search for all ¶ and replace with a single space I used a line break instead of empty space but, formatting in styles screws up the page when applying it to some pages and paragraphs with line breaks. Any advice would be helpful. Edited September 6, 2019 by Dai777 made a mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
