    Ralph,

    Have you considered cutting each graphic and pasting into Illustrator? Place the new illustrator artwork back into your layout. I am not sure how many you have.

    Jamie,

    Instead of adding an additional physical whitespace character, you should consider providing the desired space through your paragraph styles.

    Create a grep style using:
    (?<=[[:punct:]]) (?=\u)

    The associated character style will control the width of your spaces. You can set the horizontal setting to 200 percent to double the size.

    We then need to take care of the Mr., Ms., Mrs. You can do so by creating a second grep style using:
    Dr\. |Mr\. |Ms\. |Mrs\.

    Take note of the space after each dot. The associated character style should have the horizontal setting set to 100 percent. In order to override the previous grep style, ensure that this one is placed above the previous.

    I was unable to use a negative lookbehind that included multiple entries. I am sure a grep guru could provide an example of how to do this in a single grep style.

    I have seen the post that Kelly recommended. It appears to relate to InDesign Books and not necessarily to individual files.

    InDesign does store the location of linked and embedded media; however your media points toward the Links folder.

    You didn’t happen to beef up your package manifest file with the original link locations? Mike Rankin provided a fantastic tip in his Lynda.com video titled Creating Long Documents with InDesign. He recommends that prior to creating the package:
    1. You open the package dialog, click Report, and save the file (This file would include the original linked media paths).
    2. Create your package and then open up both the package manifest and the previously saved report.
    3. Cut and paste the entire Links and images section from your report into your package manifest.

    This ensures that you have the original location to these files. Having the full path has proved useful in locating who may hold the original.

    If you did do this, you can export your InDesign file as IDML and swap the paths out using a script. Unless you have thousands of linked items, I would assume the trouble it would take to work on the script would be more than individually addressing the relinking.

    If the stars aligned and you did happen to save that incredibly useful piece of information, I will try to help you with a solution.
