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

[donpopo]

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.

thank you,

that's exactly what I would like to do. it works perfectly. I absolutely did not think about that.

Best regards,
