MS Word: Find&Replace back reference is messed up
I am having a problem with this for some time, and couldn't find out anything about it yet Any help would be appreciated: Details: Windows: 10 MS Word Version: MS Office Home & Student 2021 Context: Trying to fix hundred of missing spaces after ":" at once. E.g.: deviation:Mandatory BUN Procedure: Find: (?:)(?) ==> please note it could be "[A-Z|a-z]" instead of "?" Replace by: \1 \2 Expected result: deviatio[n: M]andatory BUN Actual result: deviatio[n:M ]andatory BUN The only information on this I found so far was this topic: https://superuser.com/questions/1165168/why-are-ms-word-regex-backreference-replacements-out-of-order Thank you very much in advance for any help provided! Wish you a great week ahead.
