I believe someone has already pointed out this macro has a problem when
there is text immediately to the right of the cursor. And that is a big
problem because quite often you would want to insert text in the middle of a
sentense. The following is a slight improvement on the previously posted
macro, but may be someone out there has a better solution:

map!  a. bbmmi?\<2h"zdt.@z
map!  a. bbdw`xnywmx`mPbea dwbis"zdt.x@z
map!  a. bbdw`xNywmx`mPbea dwbis"zdt.x@z

cheers,
