Hi all!

New user, configuring new computer, trying to avoid the expensive, bloated "usual" choice for text and spreadsheets. I'd heard of OpenOffice and am checking it out.

But, despite not being a computer "dummy", I can't seem to figure out one simple thing:

What do I put in the Find and Replace boxes to search for and/or place Hard Returns? Soft Returns? Tabs?

I need to "massage" ebook text files for reading on my Palm, and need to convert all paragraph breaks into two breaks and five spaces. (That's what the reader I use needs to format it for my satisfaction.) In the "other" program I could use "^p" for paragraph breaks, "^t" for tabs, etc.

What is the equivalent in OOo?

Thanks in advance!
