      Is there a way one can use GREP for the following task?

      I have a long story in threaded frames. My goal is to use the “SplitStory”- Script to break this connection. BUT if the last word of a frame has an ‘automatic hyphen’ – this hyphen will disappear.

      Now I’m thinking if there is a way to find this ‘automatic hyphen’ in the last word and replace it with a regular hyphen, before running the script? Thereby it is highly important that the appearance stays exactly the same – so no character or word moves to another frame.

      I’m very curios – if there is a solution.

      Why not edit the Hyphenation in the Paragraph Style and turn off “Hyphenation across frames”?

      Jep, this is the way I'll do in the future ;-).

      If I would to it now, it would lead to 'uncontrolled' word jumping.

      All in all this “splitting the story” is part of a larger workaround to include the exact same page numbers from the printversion into an epub. It's for academic use (citation and referencing).

      No I don't think can be done with GREP.

      Seems that when you break the story the hyphenation is removed, and I don't think there is a way to avoid that!

      Unless it can be scripted?
