Admitedly OOo's search functionality can be a little tricky to use, but its way more powerful once you are used to it. To find spaces at the end of paragraphs start a new search (ctrl+f), enter " $" (without the quote marks and with the two spaces before the dollar sign) into the 'search for' box, then select 'more options' and tick "regular expressions"... Obviously the above searches for two spaces. If only one is required then only one should be put before the dollar sign. There cannot be spaces after the paragraph return. The above will also find spaces on empty/blank lines. Reply to the list if more information is required. /paul -- Processing Key for cracking HD DVD's: 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 ----- Try Torpark; a small portable, open-source, built on Firefox browser that enables anonymous browsing.
