From: "Chris Antos (Exchange)" 
i cannot reproduce your problem with TSE 2.5a or TSE 2.8.
i'll bet you have more than just those two replace commands in your
2_Space macro.  one of the other replace lines is causing this
side-effect.  you might even have a replace line that says lReplace(".
(", ".  (", "gnx")...
