Every week I need to produce a document that takes a paragraph, breaks it at sentence boundaries, and indents it much like an outline.

For example, I need to convert:
The dog went up the hill to look for a tree. He found none but and looked around in despair. "What must a poor dog do to find an outhouse?" he asked...


to:
The dog went up the hill to look for a tree

     "What must a poor dog do to find an outhouse?" he asked

(with spacing provided by a tab)


I think the following PowerFind Pro expression would do the trick:


Find Box:               ([^\.]*)(\.([\s\n])*)
Replace Box:    \1\n\t

I tested this only on your example. I am not sure if it would work in every case.

Best regards,
