ParticipantNick,
Thank you for your reply. You raised questions I am unable to answer at this time. The project is for benefits and enrollment. I had a meeting to discuss the issue with my contact person, but I had little to offer as I have never dealt with a situation like this (neither has my boss). I am unsure what questions I need to ask and I do not know how or why users are accessing a cloud-based version of Acrobat either. My typical work is done using Adobe Creative Cloud applications on my desktop.
I am sorry I can’t offer more information. Our firm does have a technology support dept. which will most likely have a solution, but I was hoping to have to have something intelligent to say.
John.

ParticipantThank you all for your responses. You have shared excellent information and raised points I have not considered. I have some lead time on this project which is quite unusual, but you have presented many reasons to utilize the book feature. It just makes sense on many levels.
Thanks again!

ParticipantThank you David for the quick reply. Yes, the letters Excel provides along the top edge. They are currently A-B – C – G -H – etc. I did not know you could hide columns. I will check that and read the suggested articles.
Thanks again.

ParticipantThank you for your responses Jeremy and Michel. I was unable to get your expression to work Jeremy; however, the one provided by Michel worked beautifully. Just want I wanted. Thanks!

ParticipantWell, not exactly. From my limited knowledge, you removed the positive lookbehind and positive lookahead because it was very repetitive and inefficient. Unlike my expression that only applied the “no break” to the space between the month and date, your expression applies “no break’ to the month AND the year. If you are offering a more complete explanation, that would be great as I am thinking I can modify this for other uses.
Thank you so much!!

ParticipantAaron, This second expression you posted works beautifully. It applies “no break” to the month and date; even if it is abbreviated.
John Penney
ParticipantThank you Aaron for the the quick response.
I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or not, but I ran a test on a paragraph of text from a newsletter and the expression did not apply the “no break” character style to the month and date. I then created a character style that would apply a highlight color to the characters that the expression was intended to find (for visibility purposes) and it also did not apply the style. I tried your expression using the GREP find / replace and with a GREP style. Thank you in advance.

ParticipantThank you Graham, This is perfect!
The only change I made to your instructions were in the “TO TEXT” field: I used ~y for the Right Indent Tab. Otherwise, It is exactly what I needed. Before posting my question to the forum, my approach was the opposite of yours and wasn’t working. Instead of using GREP to apply the underline, I was trying to use GREP to remove the underline from the spaces before and after the tab. Your solution is simple, easy, and accomplishes what I needed
Thank you.
