      Next I have a question: A style statement keeps appearing in my htm-text, which is continuously counted. e.g.: id=“_x0000_i1110” id=“_x0000_i1111” id=“_x0000_i1112” Is there a way to delete all of these using search-replace? possibly with wildcards?

        @Volker-Menneking ,

        Yes, by using the “Regular Expression” search mode in the REPLACE dialog box.

        You aren’t very specific, but it will be something like FIND WHAT=_x\d{4}_i\d{4} to find _x followed by 4 digits then _i followed by 4 digits. If that doesn’t work for you, you will need to read the “Template for Search/Replace Questions” to learn how to better ask Search/Replace questions.
