Add a hard return before every "

[acevans]

Please can someone tell me how to format the find and replace in word to be able to add a hard return before every beginning " not the ending "?


Thanks!

Hi acevans,

On the assumption the leading quotes will be preceded by a space or paragraph break, use a wildcard Find/Replace with:
Find = ([ ^13])(["“])
Replace = \1^p\2
Note: this preserves whatever the preceding character was. If you don't want to do that, delete the '\1' from the Replace.
