    Can not find way to bring the text to the right border

    Hello,

    I copy from a webpage some text I want to print out. Unfortunately, the text is only about halfway. Then there is a page break.
    How can I format the text that it goes all the way to the right?
    I have tried everything I found on the web.
    I attach a sample file.

    Many thanks

    You have lots of paragraph breaks cutting off the lines. You can see these if you show formatting marks (press Ctrl-Shift-8 or click the 'Show/Hide' icon in the 'Paragraph' section of the Home tab).

    You can remove these using Find and Replace.

    First select the text which needs to be fixed.
    Now press Ctrl-H to open Find and Replace.
    Put this in the 'Find' box:
    ^p^p

    Put a single space in the 'Replace with' box.
    Click 'Replace All'.

    That should fix it for you.

    I recently started a new job so am a bit busy and may not reply quickly. Sorry - it's not personal - I will reply eventually.
    If your problem is solved, please go to 'Thread Tools' above your first post and 'Mark this Thread as Solved'.
    If you use commas as your decimal separator (1,23 instead of 1.23) then please replace commas with semi-colons in your formulae.
    You don't need to give me rep if I helped, but a thank-you is nice.

    Hi Aardigspook, thank you for your reply and solution.
    Actually, I was already so far in Find and Replace, but I could not find the ^p^p.
    I used other codes..... and of course, it could not find any. I used ^v and all those: ^l^b^l^n.

    Regards

    Not really - just automating the series of Find/Replace operations described in the text.

    Almost all of the code could be produced by simply recording the Find/Replace operations using Word's macro recorder. Being as smart as a box of rocks, though, the macro recorder's code would be verbose, to say the least.
