Description Erkki Laaneoks 2012-01-28 12:36:31 UTC

Writer does not offer option to replace something with simple new line (Shift + Enter). 
For example are needed replace all paragraph ends (Enter) with simple new line (Shift+Enter). No search and replace are available.
I think "\n" in input "Replace with" (on Find & Replace dialog) should have the meaning of simple new line (Shift + Enter) and "\p" for paragraph ending.

Manual for that:

You are right but you can do that with altsearch extension : http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/node/525

So not a defect because LO works as designed. Changed for enhancement.

Best regards.
