Hi,

While working on a book, I imported some source code text, with unix \n line
endings, so it was seen as a series of paragraphs by OOo.  In order to tighten
things up a bit, I wanted to change those to line-breaks.  However, the search
and replace regexp engine doesn't seem to be able to do that.  It regards $ as a
paragraph in the search window, and \n as a line-break in the search window. 
However, neither one works as a line break in the replace field.  \n is a
paragraph in the replace field, and $ is just $.  Also, shift-return doesn't
work to input a line break in the replace field.

The manual documents all this, but it still leaves me with no way to easily
transform a series of paragraphs into line breaks...

Thanks for your time,
Dave
