Re: How to do it in word6?

Damn!  If I'd read earlier I'd of warned you!

There probably is, but I don't know. I'd copy the portion I want to correct to a
new window (using command [apple] x), do the correction <command h>, and using
the clipboard again (command x or c) put it back, command v   [select and put the
cursor in the appropriate places]

bc


P.s. My initial reaction when I "moved" from 5 to Office Std. (includes 6) was oh
no!  Bloated, too much, etc. Now I'd never go back, and when I can afford it,
I'll try 2000.

P.p.s. I just tried it and found the cursor was already in the correct place, on
return.  When you begin the return procedure,  command a will select all, which
is what you want.   I presume you have an F keyboard, in which case you may use
F2, F3, and F4.  You're also aware that selection may be done using the shift
plus the appropriate arrows?
