      Please , when I import my text from Word into Indesing I have problems with spaces at the begining in footnotes, just after the numeral.

      Also I would like to get the bests GREPS for clean my text right way. I mean: tabs at the begining of paragraphs, tabs and spaces at the end of paragraphs too.

      Sorry about my english.

      Thanks.

      Try going to the menu Type > Document Footnote Options… Try changing the separator from the default “tab” or “^t” to a single space, or whatever you want it to be. also, apply a paragraph style for the footnotes. Now you should be able to do a text search for ” ” (two spaces, or whatever it it that you have that is wrong) be sure to search only the text with the footnote paragraph style. Then replace with ” ” (a single space or whatever you want to have as a spacer.)

      Hope that helps.
