D dk Dec 6, 2004 #3 our question is for 1 space in a whole document 5 characters before the word St. Or Ave.
G Graham Mayor Dec 7, 2004 #5 I took this to be one space rather five characters in from rather than five spaces directly in front, in which case a wildcard search for (?????[ASetv]{2,3}.) replace with <space>\1 where <space> is one press of the spacebar will insert a space five characters before St. or Ave. See http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<>
