Hi,

I would like to replace space with non-breaking space in Publisher. I tried a lots of combinations but they just didn't work.

  1. Find: space character
  2. Replace: Loupe menu → Special Characters → Non-Breaking Space

Note that @loukash's method does not involve reg-ex processing, so the Find options could even be set to Normal. But it should also work with the options set to Regular Expression.

Ah, yes, I missed the "regex" in the title.
I remember having been involved in a few similar threads in the past:
