I want to replace ALL paragraph or hard page breaks with a character string. The target is not necessarily HTML.

In converting to a format for e-publishing a book manuscript formatted for printing, how do I delete the page breaks? Thank you.

Hi

You can do this with AltSearch extension.

Search for regular: \m
Replace: \r

\r removes manual column or page breaks in the found paragraph(s)

You can find help about this extension here.

Notes:

  • This does not delete page breaks generated by tables (Table Properties▸Text Flow tab)
  • This delete page breaks generated by paragraph styles, so you get “manual formatting” for these paragraphs (need to clear manual formatting to restore the break).

Take care: as far as I know, paragraphs can’t be longer than 64 k characters, so if your file is longer, you may lose data.

Hi @anon87010807

4.3 raises the 16bit (65,535) characters limitation of Writer paragraphs to 32bit (2,147,483,647).

And here, all paragraphs are not affected, only those with a break.Nevertheless, you are right to draw attention to this point
