use regex mode (and lookbehinds, which do NOT capture):

Code:

(?<=[a-z])I

Replace with "l"
This won't catch the illegitimate word "Iegitimate", though.

Hmm,

Code:

(?<![."]\s*)I

That should match any "I" that does NOT follow punctuation (even if there is an intervening space).

I'd still eyeball each edit first -- or scan each change using "See what's changed".
