For Find&Replace, How clear FORMAT for replaced text?

G

George

Am using MS Office Word 2003, SP3. Having problems with Find&Replace, can't
find a way to 'reset' it and clear out old/prior find's...
1st step: replaced some text and style at same time:
For Find&Replace, I chose to find TEXT and replace it with TEXT-NEW with
Format drop-down used to make TEXT-NEW also have Heading1 style, while it's
doing the replace. Worked great.
2nd step: just want to replace some other text:
Now I want to do an entirely new Find&Replace... Find OTHERTEXT and repalce
it with OTHERTEXT-NEW... and ignore style...that is, whatever the syle is,
just keep it.

Problem is (for 2nd step)... it's slamming OTHERTEXT-NEW with Heading1
style. I can't seem to clear this out. Already tried clicking "no style"
under the FORMAT drop-down, but that is just as bad... it erases whatever
style OTHERTEXT had.

So, isn't there a way to start a new/fresh Find&Replace that ignores all
previous FORMAT-ing for the Replace?

Thanks,
George

With the cursor in the Replace With box, click the No Formatting button (the
rightmost of the three across the bottom of the Replace dialog).
