    Thank you to all for your suggestions. Many missing full stops have been added correctly through the queries and where it was not working 100% I added them manually (there were not so many left).

    Thank you Peter for your first suggestion, I actually had lots of single empty space before the paragraph symbol, and I believe that’s why nothing else was working.

    Thank you so much for your suggestions,

    I tried with the above GREP but it does not work, it finds some portions of sencences within my document in the middle of a paragraph, not even in the end of the sentence… still not what I would need…

    Hi Steve,

    yes with simple one paragraph style text it works but not so well with a more complicated text (normal, titles, subtitles, bullets)

    – I cannot use Change all because it picks up even the empty paragraphs, adding a dot. (I cleaned up most of them from the original text, but in some cases they need to stay there)
    – A full stop is added even to titles and subtitles.

    If I search step by step using this GREP, it stops to any end of paragraph symbols (including those with full stop), so it’s not very useful as it is, probably something should be changed to work flawlessly in my document.

    Thank you for answering.

    I tried what you suggested, this add the full stop but does not find only the target paragraphs (with missing full stops). It also finds empty paragraph signs and paragraphs where the full stop exists. (?)

    I think something should be adjusted in the Find string…
