How do you find a paragraph break in OOo Writer 2.4?
You don't, in fact.
The documentation suggests Ctrl-F, \n, but I can't get that to work...
In the "Search for" box, that expression finds line breaks - inserted
with Shift+Enter - not paragraph breaks.
OpenOffice Writer does not see the paragraph break itself as an item
that can be searched for and found. Instead, you need to search for
whatever it is that you need, but to restrict your search to items
that start or finish a paragraph using the regular expression terms
"^", which anchors an expression to the beginning of a paragraph, and
"$", which anchors it to the end of a paragraph.
For example, a search for
^. (circumflex-dot)
will find the first character of a paragraph, and
.$ (dot-dollar)
will find the last character of a paragraph. Remember to press More
Options and tick "Regular expressions", of course.
I trust this helps.
