Hi Netta;

The example you gave previously had 3 spaces.

I would do a replace space space with space, first, a couple of times and get rid of the extra spaces. Then, I would do a replace " " (quote space quote) with "^p"

So, on the file that I am playing around with, this is what I done and so far it gave me results--placing each conversation on a separate line.
In the find box:
^34^32^32^34
In the replace box:
"^p" (open quote carrot p close quote)
It found 12 and replace them on a separate line.
Like I said I won't do a global replace but instead correct each instance I find in my proofing file.
