After quite a bit of searching through the list archives and Help files and Tutorials, I have finally found out how to find/replace the special symbols paragraph mark, soft return and tab. But why was it so hard to find this in OpenOffice?
I hate to say it, but MS Word has a list of symbols under Special in the Find/Replace dialog box that is very easy to understand and to use. I've not yet been able to find anything similar in OO. When I first looked at Regular Expressions in the OO Help files, it was pretty much gobbledy-gook to me. Even now that I understand it a bit more, I cannot see where it says how to find/replace special symbols such as hard space or a hard hyphen. Is it possible for the Help Files in this area of OO to be made more easily understandable by new users? Especially, of course, those users of MS Word who are looking to change to OO -- I presume those are the people that we really want to attract to OO.
