The expression removes paragraph-breaks. One single paragraph in OOo can only hold 64K characters. So when you keep concatenating paragraphs so that the character-count exceeds this limit, the characters won't be displayed, "lost". This is exactly why filing duplicates (and not identifying them early) is unfortunate. replace all "$" by "nothing/space", then it will prompt that it had replaced all occurences, but nevertheless the document will be split at the 64K boundry, you will end-up with having multiple paragraphs with the maximum character count, "only" one paragraph will be lost. When doing search and replace again will lose about "<count-times replaced>" x <max-characters> since again this concatenates paragraphs despite the limit. ciao Christian -- NP: Soulfly - Soulfire --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
