Bob,
BD>AA> That's because you're doing it incorrectly.  According to
BD>AA> your  instructions above, you do not have "white space" (and
BD>AA> I really don't  know what you mean by that) between your
BD>AA> last character and the  Paragraph mark,
BD>Wrong, Adam. White space should equate to the single space character and 
any
BD>other combination of tabs and spaces.  How do you explain that Word 7.0 
finds
BD>SOME of the spaces and replaces them when searching for white space?
BD>I was curious how you could state so adamantly that he was doing it wrong
BD>when you didn't know what white space is.
BD>Its a bug, plain and simple.
Okay.  Let's just put it this way - >I< have never used ^w ("white 
space") as the search/replace criteria, but I >have< used just the space 
key and other characters and have had no problems whatsoever.
If you happen to have a document which displays this behavior, I would 
be quite anxious to see and try to duplicate the error.  If you have one 
that (zipped) is less than 64k, you can send it to me via my e-mail 
address at the bottom.  If there >is< such a bug, I would very much like 
to know about it and have it confirmed (as I said, I use the function 
quite often).
