Word Tip of the Day
Removing angle brackets from forwarded email messages (97/2000/2001/2002)
There's nothing like a good emailed joke to lighten the mood--except if it's been forwarded so many times that it's been made virtually illegible by the addition of angle brackets (>), line breaks, and extra spaces. Certain email programs apply these items to the contents of forwarded messages to indicate where line breaks appeared in the original. You can use Word's Find And Replace feature to remove angle brackets from email messages. To do so, copy and paste the message contents in a new Word document. Next, choose Edit | Replace from the menu bar, or press [Ctrl]H ([command]H in Word 2001) to access the Replace sheet in the Find And Replace dialog box. Add the character(s) you'd like to strip in the Find What text box, leave the Replace With text box empty, and then click Replace All. You can even record your find-and-replace operation as a macro to make it easier to perform again in the future.
