Replacing 5 Consecutive Spaces With Tabs In Word Document


i'm editing manuscript in recent version of word. author used 5 consecutive spaces instead of tabs. need go through 300 pages replace these. how do search , replace 5 consecutive spaces replaced tab?

when use whitespace search , replace tabs, everything, spaces in between words. need able quantify string of 5 spaces only.

hi

does word 'replace' dialog, search set '     '   (5 spaces), , replace set '^t' (special char - tab), not work you? works fine here without interference single spaced words etc.

btw: isn't correct forum question.
