[libreoffice-users] Correcting a formatting error.

Hi,


When interrupting speech in a story, think dramatic pause, it seems you 
are NOT supposed to leave a space between the previous word and a dash, 
en, em, or long. I used the interpreted colon (:) method for my pause 
and did leave a space. Now I have to correct all that. I was hoping 
there was a way to use find & replace.


Google told me to try turning off auto replace in Tools -> Auto correct 
-> options. Tried that. Doesn't seem to have worked. I still see the 
long dash in the text and find says can't find search key when I give it 
" :-" sans quotes. Tried turning on Regular expressions and still no 
search key found.


Is  there any way to automate fixing this or do I have to slog through 
to whole story by hand? Thanks.
