Re: [libreoffice-users] How to find a text consisting of line break/ paragraph break marks [Writer]?

I thought it would be much easier. Writing a macro is not worth the 
effort in my case. I'm not going to use it very often. I think I will 
stick to regex and delete temporally all line brake marks to make a text 
one single and continuous paragraph for a moment. It requires few more 
operations on regex but is still easier and faster way then writing a 
macro.
Thank you very much for your help. Regards,
gordom
