Shelley, mass deletions are very dangerous because you may end up deleting more than you bargained for. However, if you find situations where mass deletions are safe, for example repeating words in headers, just leave the replacement field completely blank, that is it should contain nothing, not even a space char. then activate the 'replace all' button. All those bad words will be removed. Guido Guido D. Corona IBM Accessibility Center, Austin Tx.
