To quote a line from a Tom-Lehrer/Electric Company song, "Carefully, carefully,
careful - ly."
Seriously, though, I don't know of any way other than by reading and
eliminating as you go. I had a
problem with one book with el's -- there were the long lines at the end of the
sentences that seemed to
be part of garbage -- you know, like the one that is above the reverse dash on
the keyboard. After being
tired of eliminating them one by one, I copied what I thought was a double ||,
pasted it into the replace
and replaced it with nothing. Then, as I read along, I discovered that, in the
font I was using, they had
been el's. I had to do a search for all the words that might have a double-el
in them and put the els back
in. That taught me to be very careful and not take a short cut unless I was
very sure it was safe.
