Bug ID: 153170
Summary: LibreOffice 7.4 can not programmatically delete
paragraph breaks created by ENTER key.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: macOS (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
LibreOffice 7.4 can not programmatically delete paragraphs breaks created by
ENTER key.
Editing a Writer document of 100 pages, created by another user.
Every line has the pilcrow paragraph mark created by ENTER (not Shift-Enter).
(An error in the other user's formatting technique)
The new behavior desired is to programmatically delete the pilcrow
character/(ENTER)/break at the end of every line, and replace it with another
printable character (or a single white-space).
Need a way to programmatically use Find and Replace (opt-cmd-F on MAC) the the
pilcrow paragraph mark.
There are no empty paragraphs.
The pilcrow paragraph mark created by ENTER (similar to a double PP in reverse)
is not a character.
The pilcrow is non-printing, screen display only.
The pilcrow and display of other formatting marks can be turned on/off by
cmd-f10 (MAC).
No regular expression is found related to the pilcrow (ENTER) mark.
The pilcrow character can not be selected with the cursor.
The line return represented by the pilcrow character, created by ENTER keys,
can be deleted by positioning the cursor at the end of every line and
depressing the 'delete' key.
With a large document, manual formatting is arduous and time consuming.
Thank you very much!
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using Find and Replace
2. Unable to replace returns/breaks
3.
Actual Results:
No known method.
Expected Results:
The new behavior desired is to programmatically delete the pilcrow
character/(ENTER)/break at the end of every line, and replace it with another
printable character (or a single white-space).
