removing space at the end of line

[Heiko Haida]

Hi Craig, 

this sounds familiar. It was always necessary to start a first search
from text, a second one from within a table (and sometimes a third one
on the master pages). 

So it seems that FrameMaker has not changed its behaviour with version
12. 

Best regards - Tino H. Haida, Berlin

The occurrence of multiple paragraphs in a table, some of which may have spaces at the end of a paragraph, may not have been adequately tested by Adobe.

> Thanks to Rick Quatro's excellent webinar on regular expression search and replace some time back I was able to construct the following reg exp search in FM 12 to remove a space occurring at the end of a line right before the end of paragraph marker. I've been using for it for awhile. I'm sure others have constructed something similar, but for those of you who don't want to mess around and experiment:
