how to use Find/Replace to ADD a comma
I have a long list of words in 2 languages. I can highlight one set of
words and would like to automatically add a comma to that set. Is there an automatic way to do this? One problem is that I can't just use Find/replace to search out the spaces and replace with commas because some of the words are 2 or even 3 words, ie. A. D., or A. S. A. P. If I tried to just replace all the spaces with a tab or comma is would separate the words into incorrect groups. I CAN however highlight all of the English words. So is there a way to ADD a comma to the selection of highlighted words? Many thanks for you thoughts.... Janey

how to use Find/Replace to ADD a comma
FWIW, there should not be any spaces in A.D. or A.S.A.P.
