Came this utterance formulated by Guido Milanese to my mailbox:

> In a long text the publisher required me to use character spacing for

> A funny request, but is there any way to automatize the change? Or to

> I understand it's a funny request!

Find and replace may be able to do what you wish. But you would need to
use Regular expressions.

How would spaces be treated? Paragraphs?
