How can I do in Writer what I have done in MS Word? Specifically when I import a text file I like to replace single paragraph marks with a single blank.

In word I would do this sequence:

- replace all ^p^p (2 crlf's or paragraphs) with ##
- replace all ^p (single crlf or paragraph) with ^s
- replace all ## with ^p



This is FAQ item
http://documentation.openoffice.org/faqs/word_processing/016.html and it
is covered in more detail in the manuals. See
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/ While not specifically for
2.0 the printed user guide is still pretty much valid, if you like hard
copy.


Thanks

btw. Is there a File Import capability?



Try File > Open and select the file type you wish to import from the
File type dorpdown list. OOo doesn't do every foreign format but I think
the most common ones are there for which there is an API.


Thank you - this helps. Now I have to figure out how to do this.
