Wildcard punctuation

xstranho · #1 06-20-2025, 05:08 AM

How can I, using wildcard in Word, in Portuguese Brazil, 2019, locate any punctuation and then a letter, without a space between the punctuation and the letter. And I want to change it, putting a space, after the punctuation, before the next letter/character.

For example, assuming there is a space before the punctuation:
Find = [ ^s]([.,:;\?\!])([! ^s])
Replace = \1 \2
