------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Oct 14 00:45:04 -0700 2005 ------- [Using OO2 RC2 Writer] A lot of text found on the Internet contains sentences part-terminated by carriage-return <CR> (as distinct from "\n"). I personally have to deal with texts like this a lot. Example: The cat sat on<CR> the mat and ate<CR> the rat. <CR> <CR> The cat later needed<CR> a rabies shot.<CR> What one would like to do is: 1. retain the <CR> between paragraphs. 2. replace all the other <CR> with spaces, to give: The cat sat on the mat and ate the rat.<CR> <CR> The cat later needed a rabies shot.<CR> This is easy in Microsoft Word - just search/replace <CR><CR> with <DUMMY>, search/replace <CR> with <space> and search/replace <DUMMY> with <CR>. If there is a work-around with Open Office Writer, then I have been completely unable to fathom it. No amount of juggling with ^, $ and '.' appears to work (regular expressions turned on). Microsoft Word allows actual detection of <CR> with the command "^p". There seems to be no direct equivalent in OO Writer. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
