In this thread there are complaints about regexps and I must say they're not really working in Writer. Try writing a document with first a few soft line breaks (shift-return) and then a few hard line breaks (return). Then try to replace the soft line breaks with hard ones. Using regexps you can search for \n and replace with \n. That replaces all soft line breaks with hard ones and a warning bell should ring here since you shouldn't actually make any difference since you're replacing with the same thing. Now, let's continue with replacing the hard line breaks with soft ones. If you search for \n (which you just replaced the soft line breaks with) you won't find any matches. So how do you find the hard line breaks - I'm sure that should be easy. But the next question is how do you replace them with soft line breaks. So that covers my problem with the current regexps. The workaround would be the possibility to copy nonprinting characters from a document (if you've turned them on from the View menu) and paste them into the search and replace tool. I'm quite sure you can do that in MS Word (and that's more or less the only thing I'm missing). If that feature would be implemented this whole problem would be solved as far as I can see. Why can't nonprinting characters be selected, copied and pasted in Writer? I'm sorry if I sound a bit upset. It's mostly because issues being closed for no reason (I don't think they should be closed until they're solved) and marked as duplicates even if they're more or less reporting different problems with the same features. I really do enjoy the whole OpenOffice suite and currently I wouldn't dream of using any other office programs, but there are a few features that would need some improvements and I'm afraid I don't have the time to do it myself. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Of course OOo does paragraph search with '$', but this doesn't currently meet user expectation as is evident from number of Issues...

In MSWord it's ^p for an end-of-paragraph or for two in a row: ^p^p. Have you seen the numerous angry threads on this topic in the open office forum? This is a deal breaker for many people. It should be given higher status. The find and replace in Writer is ridiculously difficult and attentuated. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The other advice is a workaround of applying the Text body style to one's text. Yuck. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
