Presently, the paragraphs are about 4" wide and all have the "non-printing character" at the end of each text line that looks like a backward letter P with a line next to it. Is there a quick way to get rid of this problem?It sounds to me that the text came from a hard-wrapped text file (like an email). A workaround would be to save the paragraph contents to a plain text file, open it in a web browser, and then copy the text from the browser. Web browsers treat all whitespace as they would treat a space.I saved the huge file as Plain Text.txt The file was then opened in Firefox but the vast amount of white space didn't go away even though I cut and pasted it back into Writer. It seems that the character at the end of each line is a carriage return. Any ideas what to do now?
When you paste back into LO. Did you use 'Paste Special'? Try 'Paste Special' <Ctrl>+<Shift>+V and select 'Unformatted Text' cK -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+help@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
