Default Find and replace mutiple spaces between lowercase words only

Hello All,

I have been trying to find the wildcards parameters to search for any number of multiple spaces between lowercase words only.



For example 'The quick brown fox jumps over'. Which with the spaces represented by <space> would be 'The quick<space><space><space>brown<space><space><spac e><space>fox jumps<space><space>over'.

I have found various Find and Replace macros that use a variety of wildcard choices i.e. ([ ])[ ]{1,} works, but it replaces any number of multiple spaces anywhere within the document with a single space. Any number of extra spaces at the beginning of a paragraph get replaced by a single space (would be best to have none but I can find this via another Find and Replace).

Any number of spaces between lowercase words are replaced by a single space - this is what I want (this is all I want it to find and replace). Any extra spaces at the end of a sentence are replaced by a single space (I am not getting into the two spaces after a full stop debate).

Any suggestions appreciated.

Regards,
Dave T
