Hi,
When I copy an article from my Eudora in-box and paste it onto an Open Office page, I try to remove reformat the paragraph returns. But when I do a search and replace with "\n" (with "regular expressions" checked), no paragraph returns are found.

When I did the same in Word (before I got rid of it and replaced it with Open Office), this was easy to do, by searching for ^p .

So, any explanations and suggestions?

Regrettably you can only search for empty paragraphs (^$); not paragraphs with content. Your attempt with '\n' finds new lines (Shift+Enter), not paragraphs (Enter alone). This strikes me as a deficiency and worth a search to see if it has been reported as an issue previously. If not an issue should be raised.

I'll give it some thought over the next few days, unless you beat me to it. In the meantime, maybe someone has written a macro to effect this?
