Re: [libreoffice-users] Search and Replace: Line Breaks

Hello,

You can substitute any string of characters for a paragraph mark (the
result of hitting the "Return" key on your keyboard).  To do so, you
must enable regular expressions on the Search & Replace panel (open the
additional options) and then you set the replace string to "\n"
(without the quotes). If you want to insert a real line break (the
result of hitting "Shift Return" on your keyboard), you must use the
AltSearch extension available from https://extensions.libreoffice.org/e
xtensions/alternative-dialog-find-replace-for-writer. This will allow
you to perform all sorts of substitutions of that nature fairly easily.

I hope this helps.

Rémy Gauthier.
