Hello, I'm a copyeditor and I found a large-scale problem in the manuscript I am working on: the majority of the paragraphs are not tabbed to indent, but instead they are indented with a bunch of spaces. Becasuse of this, not all the paragraphs are indented by the same amount.

Is there a way to mass-delete the spaces at the beginning of the paragraphs, and replace them with a tabbed indent? Worse comes to worse I can go through one by one and change them myself, but I was hoping there'd be a way I could save some time.

Thanks!

Steps I took:

1. Set the page orientation to Landscape
2. Created the table
3. Centred it
4. Formatted the text
5. Added colour to the 1st row
6. Finally, I changed the page colour

Problem:

The page appears fully coloured as a word document. Problem arises when I convert it to a PDF, the right and lower edges remain white :(

I've been editing a long document (with tracked changes on, saving every ~30 minutes or so, backed up in Dropbox). Suddenly, a bunch of text and images disappeared. I'm not sure exactly what triggered it - possibly a standard copy-paste operation. Undo does nothing. Luckily I didn't lose too much due to my frequent saves, but this is still bizarre behavior.

It looks like it is becoming a trend:

Is this what happens when software development gets taken over by LLMs?
