------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Mar 12 02:47:50 -0800 2006 ------- In the find dialog, provide a pulldown of non-visible characters such as line break, paragraph break, page break, section break, non-breaking hyphen etc. Many users of a word processor may like to do their work without having to learn RegEx. Besides requiring RegEx, the find and replace function also seems to contain some mysterious methods: Although I know RegEx, I couldn't fathom the logic behind searching for /n and replacing with /n (it works, of course, but I could not have thought of this solution by myself). MS Word has a pulldown menu for all such characters. Then it puts a combination like ^i and ^l in the field and goes ahead with the search. I tried to enter those combinations in Writer, but it does not work. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
