Find and replace question

[mabi]

Hey all,

if this has been discussed before, I apologize, but finding the relevant threads is though.

In my thesis, i naturally have a lot of citations. As I first planned to set those in parentheses finally but now decided to set them in superscript, I wonder whether it is possible to automatically remove the leading white space in front of every citation.

Is there a way using Find&Replace to do so?

Thanks in advance,

Marco
