Have OpenOffice 2.4
Is there a way to edit text (a paragraph? a page?) to
<period><space><space> if the period is currently followed by less

Find & Replace unfortunately refuses to find
<period><space>. Guessing <space> is a code, but F&R doesn't list it.
Provided "Regular expressions" is not ticked, you *can* search for
dot-space, in fact. (I don't know what you are doing wrong.) If you
have "Regular expressions" ticked, the problem is not with the space
but with the dot, which now represents any single character. If you
need a dot as part of a regular expression, you must escape it by
preceding it with a backslash. So backslash-dot-space will do what you need.
I might possibly be asking the impossible.
Probably not!
Try replacing backslash-dot-space-plus with dot-space-space (with
"Regular expressions" ticked). That will replace one or more spaces
after a dot by just two.
I trust this helps.
