I usually do these things in stages
1. remove all the class="calibre2" xml:lang="EN-US" i.e. find this replace all with nothing. check that looks good & save, then
2. remove the spans : find <span>[(,*)]</span> & replace with \1
3. now do the joins
i'd skip step 2 if there were n=maybe other, valid spans, & write something that looked for a non-sentence end & remove the closing span tag, the line break, & the next opening p tag. for dealing with the line breaks I usually cust copy a chunk from code view, which has the line break embeded & put that into find, then tweak it
so I'd grab:
,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal1"><span>
put that in find, then edit the , to be ([a-z,])
and replace with \1 ( with a trailing space)
