GREP Search and Replace

[TYPE A]

Does anyone know if it's possible to search for a (.) period that is between two letters and delete just the period and leave the letters intact?

I have a Word file that's been exported out of a PDF file and everywhere there was a hyphen a (.) period was inserted.

Thanks,

Peter

Find what

(?<=\w)\.(?=\w)

Change to:- Leave it blank

See if this works

Could you use a basic find/change using an 'any character' wildcard either side of a period and in the change box remove the period?

Although the GREP looks handy.

You are basically asking for the Grep syntax to work for text find/replace. I don't think that would work. However, why do you want to avoid grep and use text find/replace, any reasons?
