Ann, I believe this code represents a tab. I have had no luck doing a
find and replace on this sort of code, sorry to say. The only way I have
been able to get rid of it is to do it manually. That is not what you
wanted to hear, I know.

Subject: [duxuser] what is this code?


I am working with a document that came to me as a plain text file.  One
large section of about 20 pages appears to have been perhaps scanned in
and looks lind of like columns, but very sloppy ones.  I converted the
document to a ms-word document and opened in Duxbury.  I revealed the
codes and discovered that within this clumsy-looking columnar formatting
is the following code: [D+000] I tried replacing the code with a hard
space in the prescribed manner, and I got an error message that
indicated the code I entered in the find what field was not found.  I
placed the code in the edit field in two ways. First I typed it in after
typing control left bracket and then putting the
D+000 between the brackets.  Next, I tried copying and pasting the code 
D+in.
When I did that, what got pasted looked like asterisks, not the D+000.
Anyone got an idea how I might globally repair this mess?

IN HIS NAME AND FOR HIS GLORY!
