Find and replace query re missing spaces
Hi Word fans,
I'm editing a piece in which the client has sporadically and randomly missed the space between a full stop and the next letter. I'm trying to use find and replace to correct this. I have got as far as working out that inserting this in the find box locates all examples of this: . ^$ However, I can't work out what to put into Replace to keep the full stop and the first letter of the new sentence but insert a space. Can anyone help? Thanks! H |

Wildcards on
Find: ".([A-Z]{1})" Replace: ". \1" Without the double quotes

Presumably they've done the same with other sentence endings, too. In which case you could try a wildcard Find/Replace, where:
Find = ([.\!\?])([A-Z]) Replace = \1 \2
