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 |

You can use a Find/Replace, where:
Find = ^p- Replace = ^&- The ^p represents a paragraph break and the ^& represents the found text.
