Reply To: Possible to find unstyled character(s) touching styled characters on either/both sides?

By changing (?s).(?!.) to (?s)w(?!.) I can avoid it finding spaces, final periods and footnote references. Of course I'll have to do it differently for punctuation after styled characters (mostly commas) that needs to be found.

In the half hour I've been using this search I've saved at least a couple hours, so even if I have to scan through for the end-of-word diacritics and do them manually, this GREP help has already added quality time to my life.
