As someone else said -- that depends on how you define a "paragraph" in the file. If any time there's a newline you've got a new paragraph, you can just use a simple substitution regex to replace all instances of one newline with two newlines. If some of your paragraphs are already separated by two newlines, you could just use \n+ in the matching part of your substitution regex to indicate that you want any instance of one or more newlines in succession to be replaced with exactly two newlines -- if that doesn't screw up some other formatting you have in the file. In order to answer this question properly, we'd need to know more about how you define "paragraph" in this context, and whether there are special cases of non-paragraph formatting that might cause conflicts with paragraph formatting while doing a substitution. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ]
