I often copy and paste from e-book formats into odt simply because odt is always such a nice smaller file size and I have all the control in the world over what kind of font I want to use, etc.
One problem I often have is something like this... For instance, in the following sentence: ----- He had just said wearily,"There's no timber down there to build cabins." ----- There's no 'space' between the apostrophe and the beginning quotation marks. In this particular e-book, there is a *LOT* of this and I'll not be able to enjoy reading the book if I have to stop every 5 seconds to click on the spot and hit the spacebar all the time. I looked at the find/replace, but when I tried that it didn't work very well and then I had to *delete* a space when it put it *between an apostrophe and an end quotation mark. I don't understand well enough how to use the regular expressions and would really like to be able to use the find/replace so it can do the 1000+ corrrections for me and I can get back to the occassional manual fix, heh. Does anyone have any idea how I can do this to make it easier on myself and get ahead with actual reading? (hopefully I described the problem well enough for someone to actually be able to help me).
