Nancy,
Using the Wildcard function in your Find enter the following:
[0-9]in
That will find all of the instances.
However, FrameMaker doesn't replace patterns. So the replacement would
need to be manual. In my case, I'd save it as MIF, open it in Oxygen,
and do a grep pattern search and replace.
Other wise you'd need to do 10 search and replacements, one for each
digit in front of the in.

Hi, all.
I need to correct the measurements, in inches, in which the space has been
omitted between the number and the unit.
In other words:
Height: 17in
Depth: 21in
Width: 10in
Or:
The unit is 17in deep.
In Word, I could specify that a numerical value precedes the alpha characters
"in" and perform a search.
In FrameMaker, is there a way to make a search that specific?
As it is, I believe I have to search for every instance of "in," which turns up every
word that contains the two letters "in" including, well, **including**.
It's rare that I long for Word, but this is one of those instances. I can save
the whole thing to RTF and do the search in Word, but I'd like to find out
first if Frame has the capability.
