Hi Martin,
Thanks for the tip! Just so I'm clear, I would search for ^$^$^$ for
three EOLs and replace them with a single ^$, correct?
That doesn't work but you can use a combination of:
^$ for an empty paragraph
\p for paragraph ending
\p* for multiple paragraph endings
By the way you can download the Alternative Find & Replace
<http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/alternative-dialog-find-replace-writer-altsearch>
extension which is an easy menu based tool.

I, too, have a bit of feedback. A minor annoyance I've asked about
in the past and never got an answer that works.
I get a lot of documents that have multiple end of paragraph
elements and I have never figured out how to find and replace 3 (or
whatever) with 1 to clean up scanned documents and documents that
were deliberately double spaced with EOPs rather than simply setting
the leading.
I wind up exporting to Word and fixing this and then back to OO. Be
nice if I could save this trip.
BTW, the EOP mark is not after a period in most cases in a scanned
document so I can't search for those as a way to solve this problem.
Thanks!
