FrameMaker search

[Ragnar Hanas]

You can do 10 quick searches: 1in, 2in, 3in etc, and then replace by 1 in, 2
in, 3 in.
I have done so on several occasions, and it doesn´t take much extra time
compared to one major search.
The other option would be to save as MIF, then open in Word.  However, when
searching in Word as you describe, can you insert the space correctly and
proceed by just clicking "enter" or do you need to do it manually?

Hi, all.

I need to correct the measurements, in inches, in which the space has been
omitted between the number and the unit.

In other words: 

Height: 17in
Depth: 21in
Width: 10in

Or:

The unit is 17in deep.

In Word, I could specify that a numerical value precedes the alpha
characters "in" and perform a search.

In FrameMaker, is there a way to make a search that specific?

As it is, I believe I have to search for every instance of "in," which turns
up every word that contains the two letters "in" including, well,
**including**.

It's rare that I long for Word, but this is one of those instances. I can
save the whole thing to RTF and do the search in Word, but I'd like to find
out first if Frame has the capability.
