Agreed.

In the least worst case, it may have just changed a:

Code:
<p class="something">This is an example.</p>
into a

Code:
<p>p>This is an example.</p>
and was a simple copy/paste or typing error.

More likely, the complex regex accidentally deleted text you haven't noticed:

Code:
<p class="something">The boy crossed the road.</p>
Code:
<p>p>he boy crossed the road.</p>
As you + my post mention, probably best to go back to the original Word document, do a clean conversion, and avoid using regex for now. Regex is a more intermediate/advanced tool, and you should be very careful when using them (and NEVER blindly "Replace All" unless you have fully tested the regex and become familiar with how they work).
