This was in the office software since last Saturday. No comments. Maybe someone in this part of computing.net That is why I moved it. I have a friend who just graduated as a medical transcriptionist. She took this course on line. Here is how we might be able to help her. She gets her work via the internet and the company has a template that she has to follow when transcribing. That template comes with many asterisks (*), all have to be removed prior to uploading the final transcription. She can use Ctrl/F and delete as they appear. However can a macro be created to do this task? There is a great deal of info via google on macros. It's just a lot easier asking the forum than to start learning a new trick. Thank you very much, if someone can help we would be very appreciative. Thank you Harry

I had seen your post but the following is what keeps me from providing information: "It's just a lot easier asking the forum than to start learning a new trick." It's a lot easier to let someone help themseleves then it is to do it for them. Otherwise couldn't your friend just wait until she is done and then use find/replace, replace all? Bryan
