Thanks Kathy.
The problem with hi would be the sheer amount of data to input at each change
when you consider that the run-over cell number is changing at 1. a. b. i. ii.
iii. Then the whole rigmarole again at 10. a ... etc.- almost every 2nd or so
line.
Anyhoo, deleting the code shouldn't delete following codes. I can see why it
would delete ONE following ptye but not others.
Thanks for the search/replace info.
Alan

Alan, can I suggest that you don't use the ptys codes at all to manage runovers.
I find these are better managed using the hi code, where you can be very
specific about your margins and runovers. It also allows for an hierarchical
approach to paragraphing.
The code is:
[hiL:V:R:I:J:K:M:N:O:P]
L = left margin
V = runover margin
R = right margin offset
Then
I = left margin increment
J = runover increment
K = right margin increment
M, N, O, P set upper limits
To actually answer your question.
To search and replace codes:
1. Make sure the codes are visible using the F3 toggle
2. Press F6, and with the cursor in the "text to find" box press ctrl-[ to
start the code. Now type in the code you want to replace
3. Move to the "replace with" box and press ctrl-[ to start the replacement
code, and put in code
4. Press OK and DBT will do its search/replace.

Subject: [duxuser] ptys commands disappearing/search replace codes
I am formatting some questions using ptys codes to manage line run-overs.
In my experience every version of DBT including 11.2 will (it seems)
indiscriminately delete some following ptys/ptye codes if one is deleted. This
is very annoying.
Is there any way to delete just a single ptys code without others disappearing?
I also need to search/replace codes through the whole document eg search ptys11
/ replace with ptys12.
How do I do this as F6 only seems to work with text?
TIA
Alan
