If I understand you correctly, you don’t need a script: you can use Word’s wildcard feature. In the find and replace box, check “use wildcards”, then

search for ^11([a-z])
replace with  \1

(with or without a space before the backslash in the replace string).

Hi folks,

I'm after a simple script for Word 2011 that will find all ^p followed by a lower case and replace the ^p with a space leaving the lower case letter in place. All other breaks must be left in place.

I'm sure it's simple but I'm a novice and the document is 100,000 pages with lots of hard breaks. (For your enjoyment: it came to be this way because the author didn't like Word's automatic hyphenation in the document so they manually put a carriage return before each hyphenated word. )

Thanks,
Chris (mulsubs at gmail)
