= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Word, the carets and codes may not appear correctly in the Change To: option under the following conditions:


 * 1) From the Search menu, choose Change.
 * 2) Type an ASCII code within the Change To: option in the Change dialog box.
 * 3) Close the dialog box.
 * 4) From the Search menu, choose Change again.

For example, if you want to change occurrences of “^13” (the ASCII code for a paragraph mark) to “13something13”, but return to your document before calling up the Change command again, the Change To: entry appears as “3something3”.

Even though the characters do not appear correctly in the Change To: box upon returning to the Change command, the correct information is still entered. You do not need to retype this information to run the Change command with the original inputted values.
