Re: [libreoffice-users] cannot find and replace paragraph break in writer

Folks,

These 2 are the same solution.

It works fine when a 'find and replace' is preformed on a single 
paragraph mark, i.e. hard return, appears as ¶,is replaced with anything 
else.

I have a similar problem.

I sometimes, especially when copying and pasting text from a WEB page, 
find 2 hard returns one after another.

How can I search for double hard returns, ¶¶, and replace them with 
single hard returns, ¶.
