I've discovered that a quick way to globally change
the number one to capital I is to paste space one
space a d change it to space capital I space. That way
the number when it's part of other numbers doesn't get
changed. It doesn't help when the number is part of a
contraction, but there aren't too manhy of those
words, so that can be done, too. I usually wait until
the end, because I catch a lot as I read.
