✏️ Smart Comma Replacer – Insert or Replace Commas Instantly, Without Manual Precision
When working on structured writing — like academic texts, articles, lists, references, or any content that must follow strict punctuation rules — you often need to:
- Make sure each item, phrase, or citation ends with a comma.
 
- Correct places where a dot, semicolon, question mark, or another symbol is used incorrectly.
 
- Add a comma if there isn’t any punctuation at all.
 
- Placing the cursor exactly after the word,
 
- Pressing backspace or delete to remove unwanted punctuation,
 
- And typing a comma — carefully, each time.
 
- Doing this over and over in a long document isn’t just tedious:
 
- It slows you down,
 
- Increases risk of mistakes (like leaving a wrong punctuation mark or forgetting to add the comma),
 
- And distracts you from the actual writing or editing work.
 
- That’s why we created the Smart Comma Replacer button — so you can do this correction instantly, in a single click.
 
⚙ How it works:
- Step 1:
Move your cursor anywhere inside the word you’re working on. 
- You don’t have to place it after the word.
 
- Even if your cursor is at the start or middle of the word — it works the same.
 
- Step 2:
Click the Smart Comma Replacer button.  
 
- Step 3:
The add-in automatically: 
- Checks what punctuation mark (if any) is right after the word.
 
- If there’s no punctuation, it inserts a comma.
 
- If there is a punctuation mark that shouldn’t be there (dot, semicolon, question mark, exclamation point, parenthesis, any symbol, etc.), it removes it and replaces it with a comma.
 
- All of this happens instantly — with a single click.
