So, if it turns out to be my problem, when I copy and paste those characters into the search and replace feature, will they be found? -----Original Message----- From: duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxuser-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mike Gorse Sent: Friday, September 01, 2006 8:29 AM To: duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxuser] Re: Search and replace not working in dbt 10.5 Hi Ann, Are you sure the characters in your document are asterisks rather than invalid characters that DBT is displaying as asterisks? You can check this by turning on "Use verbose labels for non-ANSI characters in coded view" under Global, View Preferences, then entering coded view. If they are invalid characters, they will now display as something other than asterisks. -Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Foxworth, Ann" <Ann.Foxworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <duxuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2006 5:54 PM Subject: [duxuser] Search and replace not working in dbt 10.5 > > > I can not get search and replace to work in dbt 10.5.
