I am trying to use the find and replace feature to get rid of a bunch
of periods in a document. I am able to turn them into spaces, but
not get rid of them completely.
This is analogues to what I have:
XXXX... XX XXX XX
XXXXXX... XXX XX XX
XXXXX... XXXX XXX XX
XXX... XX XXX XX
(instead of 4 lines I have 50 lines, and I have 20 documents like
this, so deleting by hand will take far to long)
This is what I want it to look like:
XXXX XX XXX XX
XXXXXX XXX XX XX
XXXXX XXXX XXX XX
XXX XX XXX XX
Thanks,
