Hey Melinda,

No you’re not going about it the wrong way, actually that’s a good use of GREP, try this

Find: ([a-z])([a-z])
Replace: $1 $2

You can always add more characters in the first capture group such as a closing parenthesis like you have in your sample to catch more characters before the hard return.
