Hi Brian, After 22 Years of you and I being involved in this project, I genuinely bow to your superior knowledge in this area. However, I do assure you that the convoluted LO->AOO->LO nonsense works for me, exactly as it did in the days of OOo. No, I have not forgotten to click "Other options in the Find and Replace dialogue and to tick "Regular expressions", please see my screen capture: https://www.mediafire.com/view/80552jkp3qw6o8x/F%2526R_LO.png/file Here is a very simplistic file illustrating the <space><CR><LF> paragraph endings: https://www.mediafire.com/file/vmixa9r4dhjpc9e/F%2526R_LO.odt/file Version: 7.3.1.3 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: a69ca51ded25f3eefd52d7bf9a5fad8c90b87951 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: default; VCL: win Locale: es-ES (en_IE); UI: en-US Calc: threaded If you can please show me where I am going wrong, I would be extremely grateful.
