Replace a character only if it is at the beginning of the paragraph.

Hello,

I have an ebook that I correct in Word. I have a problem because each dialog starts with a normal dash without spaces. But, I have, in the whole book more than 5600 dashes.

I want to put another dash only at the beginning of each dialog. (1230 dashes)
If I change my dash, I also change the dashes that are in the different words of the text.

Is there a solution to this problem or do I need to manually replace one by one?
Thank you in advance,
Donpopo
