Select the end of the first page and extend the selection to the first letter of the next page and write a space character.. Maybe easier to select the last character of the first page and the first characzer of the next page and write the overwritten character, a space and the other overwroitten character.

Searching for "(\l)(\r)(\l)" and replacing with "$1$3" should work - but rather in a step-by-step mode - not globally - IF a word is split. 

 

This:

 

"(\l\s*)([\r~M~R~P~L~E~k])(\s*\l)"

 

should work when break is between words.

Can you better explain the problem? I do not understand what you are asking.

As you can see on the image of the text, the last line of the first page in cutted in the middle and the rest of the line is on the next page. I tried many different page break, but I cannot find
the right correction. The text is imported from a Word file. It looks like InDesign is keeping the page break from Word, but do not fit it at the end of the line.

Thanks

Hi @yvesm49627467 , Can you post a capture with hidden characters showing—Type > Show Hidden Characters? Looks like there is some kind of return or break character in the last line.

 

This is a Frame Break:
