Find and replace query re missing spaces

[Johanna]

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!

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

Thanks both, really appreciate it.
