My text in Indesign contains numerous instances of words followed by a comma and no space after the comma (like: "Hello,Joe"). I'd like to insert a space after the commas (corrected: "Hello, Joe"). I thought to use the Find/Change feature.
Using Find/Change I entered this in the Find dialog: "^$,^$". It finds the words with no space after a comma, as I had hoped. I thought entering "^$, ^$" in the Change field would preserve my text and add the space, but alls it does is change my text to "Hell^$, ^$oe."
How do I get this to work?
(^$),(^$)
. $1, $2, $3 (etc.) function as placeholders in the Replace field, so you simply put them where you want the groups of text found to go in the replacement string:$1, $2
