Hi Keren,
You don't say what program you are using for editing here, so I assume
it may be Word.
Would the majority of the wanted paragraph markers all be preceded by
a full stop or period by any chance?
If so, how about:
1) Search for .^p and replace with .^p^p
2) Replace ^p^p with say *****
3) Replace ^p with space (bar)
4) Replace ****** with ^p^p
If that's not what you want, send me the file itself to my e-mail
address, I can take a look and see if there's an alternative.
George.

Subject: [duxuser] Find and Replace
Hi, I've been trying to find out how to remove all unwanted paragraph
marks from a large amount of scanned text. I thought that
[a-z]^13[a-z] would find any paragraph markers with a letter un-spaced
each side, which is what I have.
I can't work out what to replace it with, I know I need a space, but I
don't know how to not change the letter before and after the paragraph
mark.
Using the [a-z] only works because the wanted paragraphs all end in
punctuation. Can anyone help?
Many thanks, take care, Keren
