I want to change the spacing on citations in my document. They currently look like:
something [1]
And I want them to look like:
something[1]
There are dozens of citations in my document, so I would like to use the find feature in Word to make this less tedious.
From reading this I tried to make a wildcard that would match, but it doesn't work.
Find: ([A-z]@>) (\[[0-9]*\])
Replace: \1\2
The Find doesn't work. So, I do not know if the Replace will either. What am I missing? Thanks for your help!
Edit: here is what I get when I enter ^w:
\1
. In regex, the asterisk means zero or more, while the plus means one or more, so you’ll want to indicate that there must be a number between the brackets. (In VisualStudio, there is an option in the Find dialog to use either basic wildcards or regex, so I imagine that Word does as well.)
