Hello everyone,

There is an enter space after each line in the Word file. I can find those that start with a lowercase letter after the enter space. But I don't know how I can delete the enter space without including them. Can you help me? Yout can see the screenshot I took.

Made a mess of that - should have opened Indesign first

I think this is better

But I'm sure a GREP expert will have something more fitting, but this is what I use.

Find by GREP

\l.+?\K\r

Replace with

(insert a regular space)

or if there's already a space there - then leave replace with blank

You're better off cleaning that up in Word, in my opinion.

Considering I’m talking about a 500 page word file, this takes a lot of time.
