Hi Simon,
For inserting a space every 5 characters, you could do this through the
Find Dialog. There is a little checkbox "Grep" on the bottom of the window
which allows to use Regular expression in your search.
The regular expression would be something like this: (.{5}), which means
"capture every 5 characters". The brackets represent a capture group, the
dot any character and {5} means that we want to match 5 times the pattern.
In the replace field you can put : \1
Make sure to put a space after \1. This means that we replace the 5
captured characters by themselves with an additional trailing space.
I am not sure what you mean by separate page though.
Hope this helps somehow.
Regards,
Thibaut Jacob
