I'll do that wish where it belongs. Thanks you Kolydart. I downloaded the extension. Sounds like it will help with the search and replace issue. After posting I actually found a way to do what I wanted in the help (although it is extremely difficult to locate) \n in find and \n in replace will replace manual line break with paragraph break. Seems odd syntax but it works perfectly. The other way isn't possible ^p aka Paragraph replaced by ^l line break but there is a work around and it appears to work... *To replace ^p aka Paragraph return with ^l Manual line break* "Hmm ... a simple workaround just occurred to me and it seems to work just fine: Enter a line break normally and copy it to the clipboard Edit > Find & Replace Search for: $ Options/Regular expressions: ON Click "Find All" Edit > Paste" Not my work around. Found it in a forum, sorry to the contributor, I didn't note your name. I'd play with it a little before doing a mass replacement. It did work with my trials as expected. As for the Outline View problem. I'm thinking it isn't possible to be implemented or it would have been fixed way back in Star Office. It is that big of a deal. MS Word has always had it and I can always install any old version for this limited purpose. I've tried work around's in other programs, and it is probably possible in a backhanded kind of way with a few of them. The headache is too big for the limited time I use it. But when I need it, I need it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue. You are the assignee for the issue.
