Your steps are missing one important one. After you have pressed Alt-F3 to reveal codes, press F6 to open the Find and Replace dialog box to the Replace tabbed page. In the "find what" control, press CTRL-Left Bracket and type fts~b or whatever. You're going to leave the "replace with" field blank. Tab to OK and press Enter. Then tab to "All" and press Enter again. You may have to press Enter one more time to dismiss the dialog that comes up and asks if you want to search at the beginning of the document. Poof! All the beginning bold codes are gone. Now repeat this with fte~b. Hope this helps you.

What I do is the following: 1. Reveal codes with Alt+f3. 2. Hit control+left bracket and type in [fts~b] and then I try to search for the rest with Control+I for the next codes but Control+I is unavailable. Any ideas why this might happen? -- Scott Berry electronicman1961@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Email services by FreedomBox.
