As a further note, the search portion of Search and replace is a Regex expression. In Regex, . is a symbol that means *any* character. If you really wanted to search replace every . in a conversion, you would search for \. . (The backlash escapes the special meaning of characters, so \. means to search for . literally.)

Yes, I figured the former out shortly after posting the last time. The further gotcha is that Calibre seems to remember what you used the first time on each book in the library, so when reconverting all the "rows of dots books" I have to remember to hit "Restore to Defaults" for each book to get it to remove the replace rule each time. Not a biggie. Once I've re-done the bad conversations, new books will be OK from the beginning.
And, thanks for the Regex tip about dealing with .'s. I think I looked that up when I was doing it that one time that messed me up but I had forgotten it so the reminder is welcome.
Thanks All of the tips....
