After fiddling around, I managed to get something workable. I would still like to know, if possible, why what I had stopped working so suddenly. I had set up the regex-function over a year ago in a basic form, but about 6 or so months ago, I changed the format on my cover page and added the '</dt><dd>' part only.
I had to remove '\K' from the find, and I changed the regex-function part to:
**I added the underline here to show what I added, it is not in the actual regex-function**
If there is a better way to accomplish this, any suggestions are welcome!
