Good morning Michael:

• Paragraph marks where there is text in the paragraph are $
• Paragraph marks with no text on the line are ^$
• Soft paragraph marks, inserted with a Shift Return, are \n
• Tabs are \t

HOWEVER, you must also select "Regular exxpressions" in "More Options" (that's the trick to it).

Neil.

Good morning.

In Word, one can search for, find and replace items such as a paragraph end (^p) or a tab ( ^t).

I wonder if any of you know how to do so, in Oracle Open Office.

Please advise.

Thanks in anticipation.

Cheers,
