Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Formatting becomes messy after Find & Replace

  • Solution: Before using the Replace function, click "Find Next" first to confirm the match and avoid incorrect replacements. For large documents, it is recommended to back up the original file first.

Q2: How to batch delete carriage returns

  • Solution: Enter ^p (paragraph mark) in "Find what", leave "Replace with" empty, and click "Replace All" to batch delete carriage returns.

Q3: The document contains relevant text, but the search result is blank

  • Solution: When "Match case" / "Match width" is checked during search, pay attention to whether the text entered in the search box is full-width or half-width.
