Default Find / Replace

I need help for Find / Replace in Word


I need to replace the dot-dot distance (dot-blank).
The problem is that there are numbers that contain the dot.

example:
This planet is called Earth.It contains the continents that have 125,254,564.15 m2

solve:
This planet is called Earth. It contains the continents that have 125,254,564.15 m2
So, I need to disassemble the two letters but not allowed between numbers

Hi beginner,

You could use a wildcard Find/Replace, where:
Find = .([!^t^11-13. 0-9])
Replace = . \1
The above puts a space after any period that is not followed by another period, a tab, manual line break, page break, paragraph break, space, or number.
