Re: help with find and replace

Here's what I have found in OOo Wiki <http://wiki.services.openoffice.org>:

"Users are sometimes confused with what can be done using the 'Replace with'
box in a Find & Replace dialog.

In general, regular expressions do not
work<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Regular_Expressions_in_Writer#The_.27Replace_with.27_box_.5Ct_.5Cn_.26_.241_.242>in
the 'Replace with' box. The characters you type replace the found text
literally…

\n inserts a paragraph mark, replacing the text found. This may be
unexpected, because \n in the 'Search for' box means 'newline'! In some
operating systems it is possible to use unicode input to directly type a
newline character (U+000A) in the 'Replace with' box, providing a
workaround, but this is not universal."
