Reply To: GREP help

“Gay” is definitely something else than what you probably meant: “guy” :) (no offense, though).

It's possible to find each specific kind of white space — the regular space, the tab character, the fixed spaces (there are two of them), the hard return and the manual line break, and even every single kind of “fixed width” space (en, em, thin, hair, punctuation, digit … did I forget one?).

InDesign comes with a standard set of GREP queries, and one of them is “Multiple Space to Single Space”. This looks for each of the 'normal' spaces I list above, and replace them with a single regular space. This does not include regular Paragraph Returns and Forced Line Breaks. Is that what you are after?
