@oShoeman I've never used Word Mac but I understand it's pretty close to Word on a PC once you get into the program. I found some articles online but each time I try to post a link I get an error message from RUclips, so I will just tell you what I see: Do Ctrl+H or Edit, Find. The dialog box comes up like mine EXCEPT there is just a down arrow rather than a MORE button. Click that and see if the rest is the same.
Many thanks for explanation. I have a problem and is it possible to solve it? For example, I have; YUNUS YUNUS ... I would like to replace all of them different word numbered. like, EMRE1 EMRE2 EMRE3 ... Is ıt possible to do it ? Actually i made it with fields but in that case, If i need to select all these with field for Example EMRE1, EMRE2, all of them. I cannot manage find them with find comments ? How can select them, If anyone help, i would be really appreciate.
Are you trying to just select them, delete them, or replace one field with another type of field? I need more details. You can email your document to me if you want me to look at it. (laura@townsendtek.com) If they are fields, try this: 1. Press Alt+F9 on your keyboard. That changes all the fields to show the field code. It will appear in brackets, similar to this: {FILENAME \* MERGEFORMAT} 2. Run your Find/Replace. NOTE: You cannot find the curly bracket parts of the fields. But you CAN find and replace text inside them. So you could change the type of field. 3. Press Alt+F9 on your keyboard again. That changes the fields back to display normally where you see the field results, not the code. 4. Press Ctrl+A on your keyboard. That selects the whole document body. (It does NOT select atext in the not headers, footers, or footnotes.) 5. Press F9. That updates the fields you just changed. You should see the right stuff if it worked.
Joseph, are you specifically trying to replace just pairs of parenthesis? Or all parenthesis? If it is all parenthesis I would do a normal find/replace for "(" and then run it again for ")". (Don't type the "quotes"). If you are looking for a pattern where it's always a left paren, something, right paren you will need to do a wildcard search. Start a find replace and check USE WILDCARDS under "more". Then put this in the find box: ([\(])(*)([\)]) and put this in the replace box, only substitute whatever you want to replace the parens with where I put the X's: X\2X If you are trying to get rid of the parens, just replace with "\2" Here is a good article that explains how wildcard searches work (if you want to know how it works): wordmvp.com/FAQs/General/UsingWildcards.htm
Wow thaanks but this is too much. i found and easier way : on the top menu click on home then on the paragraph section uncheck it. that is simple. at least it works for me
@Gedeon your message made me smile. (And cringe a little, if I'm being honest, but mostly smile.) All you are describing doing is turning off the "Show/Hide" feature in Word that shows - or hides - non printing characters like tabs, spaces and hard returns. You're not actually REMOVING anything. Now, if that is working for you - then you are good to go. Out of sight, out of mind! But most of the people I work with work with large complex documents and need to take advantage of Word formatting features that don't function properly when you have extra returns, tabs, and spaces in the document. BTW - if you want a faster way to turn off show/hide you can press Ctrl+Shift+8 any time to toggle it on or off.

Does anyone know if there's a symbol for a soft page break please(?), it doesn't look like it.
WTH! its that small button.... -_- you saved my life thanks
RIght? Who would even notice that button, let alone think to click on it! Glad you are still alive!!! :-)
Laura: How do you remove only parenthesis keeping the words?
Joseph, are you specifically trying to replace just pairs of parenthesis? Or all parenthesis? If it is all parenthesis I would do a normal find/replace for "(" and then run it again for ")". (Don't type the "quotes").
If you are looking for a pattern where it's always a left paren, something, right paren you will need to do a wildcard search. Start a find replace and check USE WILDCARDS under "more". Then put this in the find box:
([\(])(*)([\)])
and put this in the replace box, only substitute whatever you want to replace the parens with where I put the X's:
X\2X
If you are trying to get rid of the parens, just replace with "\2"
