(People who treat Word like a typewriter and type "manuscript style" with 2-line spacing, manually.) It's helpless, but so is every other automated program, even the ones we've written in-house. {shrug}. Without true AI, I don't know how anyone would address that one. Sure, you could look for lower-case letters, etc., but then, figuring out new paragraphs would be a mother. Ya know? (Well, yes, YOU do know, better than most.)

I am actually thinking about a automatic part, close to what it is now and a manual procedure for the rest. That is actually already possible in the Search & Replace and in the Dutch rules that is also part of the example file.
