Special characters in Find & Replace

[jrkay]

I've been advised to report this as a bug.

I tried to use the search icon to find special characters as I read in another post somewhere. I was able to enter them into the find, and by copying and pasting, also in the replace box, however the boxes for replace and replace all  remained greyed out.

Sorry to mess you about, I chose the wrong thing, instead of paragraph break I picked line break so naturally it didn't work.

I chose the right thing and it worked like a dream.

Sorry again,

John

John:

I have a doc that's filled with (what are now) double paragraph breaks, and I wanted to replace them with single breaks.  Is this similar to what you were doing?  How'd you find the code to enter in the fields?  I'm looking for that myself.

You don't need code all you do is click on the magnifying glass and then on Paragraph break twice for the find and then CTRL C and CTRL V into the replace box and then press find once to find the first one in your document, you'll find the two replace choices are offered to you and then you're away.

Or, rather than CTRL+C and CTRL+V you could click on the down arrow in the Replace box and select the character you want directly, which might be simpler.
