Paragraph markers where a space required

Hi All, I pasted from a PDF document into Frame. There are many paragraph markers where I would like to put a space and join the 2 paragaraphs.

Is there a way to do this globally without replacing the paragraph markers that are supposed to be there?

Any help appreciated

    You can try this. It basically says, find any word character (and capture it with parenthesis), followed by a return and replace it with the captured character, followed by a space. (There is a single space character after the $1.) This will ignore paragraphs that end with punctuation.

      Yes, via Regular Expressions - but RegEx has always involved sacrificing a chicken or goat for me to work. Others (way more proficient in this Dark Art (@Barb_Binder )) may be able to better help.😂
