--- Comment #14 from John Rose <[email protected]> ---
Cor,

I've just had to key in this comment again as my previous attempt seemed to
collide with yours!

It was too obvious how to find (& replace) non-breaking spaces globally in a
document. I simply copied a non-breaking space & pasted it into the 'Search
for' text box (in the Find & replace popup). Another solution (of using \x00a0)
did not work in 4.1.1.2, though it works in 3.5.3.2 (see
http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=23474). 

I think that there should be an enhancement (or correction of an omission,
depending on your point of view) in Writer to allow searching for non-breaking
space (in the'Search for' text box in the 'Find & Replace' popup) using a
Regular Expression: use of \s seems obvious. This expression could also be used
to do replacement of something else by a non-breaking space (in the 'Replace
with' text box in the 'Find & Replace' popup).

As I previously said, I still think there is a bug in the way that non-breaking
space characters cause arbitrary line feeds. If they worked correctly, then
offending paragraphs would only be on one line rather than multiple lines.
