Hi Dougmeister,

Find= (. )([A-Z])
Replace= \1 \2
with Wildcards on

As for the bolding-
Find= Text to find
Replace= ^&
and, with the replacement input box active, select the bold attribute
via Format|Font

I have this that works so far for "Find":

[\.][\ ][A-Z]

but I can't figure out the "Replace" part. Something to do with
$1$2, maybe a "\ " (without the quotes). Dunno.

There is a document that I am editing that has a lot of bad grammar.
Many sentences only have one (1) space between the preceding period
and the beginning of the next sentence.

Also, it should not put two spaces at the end of a paragraph.

Also trying to replace a specific word with the same word, yet in
bold. Thanks.
