Default End of sentence puncuation.

Albeit likely cumbersome, is there a wildcard find/replace to check for end of sentence punctuation?



I know there will be a space followed by a capital letter, so can that be done even though there may be a lot of false positives?

You could use a wildcard Find, where:
Find = [\!\?.][ ^13]@[A-Z]
This presumes, of course, that your sentences end in !, ? or .

If what you're looking for is sentences lacking the terminal punctuation, you could use a wildcard Find, where:
Find = [!\!\?.][ ^13]@[A-Z]

I don't often commend the use of the Word grammar checker, but this might be one occasion where it could be useful.
