[Edit:SOLVED]


Hello all,

Would appreciate some help in doing something which is no doubt simple, but that I'm failing at!

I want to remove the word "The" from the beginning of all my Journal names, so I'm using the Global Change option.
I tell it to look for "The" in "Journal", and replace it with >> what exactly?

The first few times, I either left it blank, or inserted my cursor in the field and hit backspace.
Regardless, when the process is run, a [space] is now left in from of the first word, which is not what I want.

What do I need to do to have that [space] removed as well >> i.e. from "The American Journal of..." to "American Journal of..." [as opposed to the current " American Journal of..."].

Many thanks!

Ah. That was embarrassingly easy - obviously thought it through when I typed the above!

As soon as I jumped back in to BE, I realised I wasn't leaving a space AFTER "The ".... that did the trick.

Live and learn. Thanks regardless.
