In a writer document I would like to find paragraph breaks (A

find \n and in replace \n and then in find \n and in replace \t
checking the regular expression box (only that one) but it doesn't
work, writer gives me the "search key not found"
That is because in the search box \n finds *line* breaks (created
with Shift+Enter), not paragraph breaks.
how can I solve?
If I understand you correctly, try this. First:
o Search for (.)$ (left parenthesis - dot - right parenthesis - dollar).
o Replace with $1\t (dollar - one - backslash - lowercase tee).
The search matches any single character at the end of a paragraph.
The replace string replaces whatever that character is and adds a tab
character.
Then:
o Search for $ (dollar).
o Replace with nothing.
There may be more elegant solutions ...
I trust this helps.
