(1) first fixes things like "Smith & Co." where the & needs a space each side. (2) fixes the remaining instances of things like "R&R" (where no space is needed around the &).

Beware of doing a
replace all on (2) above (I think the description means it should read -
(2) Find "amp;" / Replace with "&" (i.e. no leading space) if it is to catch "R&R")
Consider what would happen to the following :
"They arrived at the camp; set up their tent ...."
