To my question of 11/28/2008:[INDENT]I’m trying to figure out how to remove one space before every footnote mark in a document. I can do a Find for (space)+^f, but there’s no ^f available in the Replace With list. [/INDENT]HansV posted the following:
Tick the “Use wildcards” check box in the Replace dialog.
Enter ( )(^2) in the Find what box, and 2 in the Replace with box.
The parentheses divide the search text into two parts – the first contains a space and the second ^2, the code that can be used to find a footnote mark while using wildcards.
The 2 in the replacement text refers to the second part of the search text.
This worked great when I first tried it. Now today when I try it, instead of the spaces before the footnote marks being removed, every footnote mark is replaced with a “2”. What’s going on?
