Hi, everyone.
New to the forums and InDesign and seeking wise council. :) I searched for the the answer to my question, but had no luck.
I have a text in InDesign that has a lot of “end of paragraph” breaks randomly throughout the paragraphs. My paragraphs are broken up. I want to delete those and replace them with spaces. However, at the end of the paragraphs, there are two “end of paragraph” breaks. Every time I do a grep find/change \r to space, it picks up the double “end of paragraph breaks” and messes up the formatting more. ARrrgh. Any ideas?
To illustrate what I mean, included is an example of my problem… where the “(\r)” refers to the “end of paragraph” breaks:
Pangloss enseignait la métaphysico-théologo-cosmolonigologie. Il(\r)
prouvait admirablement qu’il n’y a point d’effet sans cause, et(\r)
que, dans ce meilleur des mondes possibles, le château de(\r)
monseigneur le baron était le plus beau des châteaux, et madame(\r)
la meilleure des baronnes possibles.(\r)

The two paragraphs above are the same, but this is for illustrative purposes only to show that the problem continues similarly. I would like to replace the single (\r)s at the end of the lines with spaces, but ignore the (\r)s between the natural paragraphs. Any idea?
Thank you!
