Your document could be cleaned up with a sequence of wildcard Find/Replace operations:

Find = ([ ^s]{1,})([.,»\!\?\:\;\)\}\]\>]{1,})
Replace = \2\1

Find = ([«\(\{\[\<]{1,})([ ^s]{1,})
Replace = \2\1

Find = ([ ^s]){1,}
Replace = \1

Find = [ ^s]([^13^l])
Replace = \1

If you're using a system with non-English regional language settings, you will need to change the {,} expressions to {;}.
