Hi pixelprincess,

Try the following sequence of four wildcard Find/Replace operations:
Find = ([!^13])([^13])([!^13])


Replace = \1 \3

Find = ([ ])[ ]{1,}
Replace = \1

Find = [^13]{2,}
Replace = ^p

Find = [ ^13]
Replace = ^p

To do a wildcard Find/Replace, you click on the Find/Replace dialog's 'More' button and choose 'use wildcards'.

That is amazing - thank you! Those find/replace commands are great.

Would you (or anyone else) happen to know how i can now force the document to indent the first line of every paragraph (or block of text)?

Also, after doing that find/replace seqeunce I have many (about 15 per page) words where the last letter is one space after the word, for example:

"The quic k brown fox jumps over the laz y dog"

I am going through this in spell check, but would there be a faster way? (It's going to take me a while to get the wildcards down so that I could write my own...)

Again, thank you!
