Re: Word 200 Macro using replace

"By the way, I couldn't delete the returns in the template as the data in
this field is populated from different fields in an XML file. The carraige
returns aren't part of the template, they come from the XML file".


I can see xml becoming an important factor in working with documents - I'd better learn it quickly!

Don't even ask about deleting the carraige returns from the XML file - long
story!


It always is - LOL!

Hi Tony,

As per my response to Graham's post:

"By the way, I couldn't delete the returns in the template as the data in
this field is populated from different fields in an XML file. The carraige
returns aren't part of the template, they come from the XML file".

Don't even ask about deleting the carraige returns from the XML file - long
story!

Perhaps I'm missing the obvious but running a macro to manipulate the
contents of a new document this way seems pointless - can't you just make
the template the way you want it in the first place and dispense with the
macro?
