Special characters - paragraph mark

[camlad]

In MS Word I could replace ^p^p^p with ^p^p to ensure maximum of two Enters between paragraphs.

I have found that one can cope with line returns using \n.

Can anyone tell me how to find and replace paragrapf marks oin OpenOffice.

^$ will find empty paragraphs which you can replace with nothing to get rid of them. there should never be any need to put 2 carriage returns between paragraphs (i.e. separate each paragraph with an empty paragraph) You should be controlling the spacing between paragraphs using your paragraph styles

Thank you - that's what I wanted. I do control spacing with styles - it's the others who don't and I often have to edit their text before use.

Glad it worked.
Looks like you might have and educational role as well as and editing one!

You can replace \p\p with \p etc using AltSearch.

A new thread maybe?
The worst thing I ever found in a doc or the dumbest thing someone did to there computer?
Maybe not though, it might backfire! None of us are perfect
