remove unneccessary (.)'s
Are you sure they're periods and that you don't have the Show/Hide option set
to "Show" (which shows each "space" character as a small dot)? If so, you can do a find and replace (although it might take some creative steps to not replace the periods at the end of sentences) which can be found under the "Edit" menu. For "Find What", type a period and for "Replace with" add a space character. For a very long document, where fixing all the formatting afterward (like periods at the end of sentences), this could be a cumbersome and incovenient solution--maybe someone else has something better. If not, you could go step-by-step through the document, skipping the periods that actually belong in the document. "MOJE73" wrote: I accidentally inserted a (.) at every space in my document.
