I've taken some stuff out of my document via find and replace, but it's left some spaces in between the comma and full stops - how can I close the gap automatically (there are several instances throughout the doc and to save me doing it manually)?
I attach a pic of what I mean the n of the previous word and the M of the new sentence - see gaps.

Re: close spaces between comma and full stop
In the Replace dialog, enter
^w,
in the 'Find what' box, and
,
in the 'Replace with' box. Then click 'Replace All'. The code ^w stands for "white space" - any number of spaces and tabs.
