|
| How do I use Find to locate CRs or tabs or other formatting characters? In Office, in the Find box there is a pull down that lists all those and you can just choose one. I see I can use "Insert Special Character" but that seems to be all symbols, math symbols etc. No Tab for instance. |

Have a look at Regular Expressions in Help

| So what's the proper method for making a suggestion then. I looked around but don't find an obvious official channel for doing that. My suggestion is that the Find box have a pull down for inserting special characters, like CRs and such, into the Find, instead of having to remember cryptic expressions. |
