      Hi Guys:

      I’m now making a magazine, sometimes the punctuation always appear at the beginning of the each line. It kind of wasting time to check through the whole magazine to avoid this happen. So anyone have the idea how to avoid this happen? Using special GREP or script? Thanks a lot.

      Try a GREP that lists all the punctuation to find and then replace with nothing. You can’t use [[:PUNCT:]] as it will find quote marks.
      Add more punctuation to the list to make it complete,

      Find
      ^\.|\!|\,|\:|\;|\?
      Replace
      Nothing

      Graham,

      When I read “beginning of line”, I don’t read “beginning of para”! … So …

      About the way you write your grep code, I prefer: ^[.,;?!:…] more readable! ;-)

      Best,

      Michel so true, your syntax is much better.
      But why would punctuation split from the text unless there is a space separating it.
      If this is the case we could use

      .[[:punct:]]
      To apply NO BREAK
      Apply this in the paragraph style.
      This would keep the punctuation together with the text. But the real solution would be to remove the space that is causing the break.
