Hi Kira,
On the find and replace dialogue, click the button 'More options', the
check 'Regular Expressions'. If you press F1 at that point, help will
open at 'Find and Replace' where there's a link to a list of regular
expressions that should tell you how to do what you want.

I just realized that, despite trying to search Help in each new
version, I still don't know how to do something I used to do all the
time in MS Word. I often wind up with documents from other people that
are formatted differently than I prefer to format them, so I want to
be able to (for example) Find all instances of " " (several spaces)
and Replace them with a tab character, or to Find all instances of a
paragraph mark and Replace some of them with a new line character. How
do I get at these formatting characters in the Find and Replace dialog
box in Writer?
I'm using version 2.0.1 on Windows XP currently.
