Hi - I’m trying to find single paragraphs in Writer and replace them with double paragraphs (so that there’s a paragraph mark between each existing paragraph. Like this:
How do I do that? I’ve tried searching for “$” and replacing it with “$$” while regular expressions are checked, but it isn’t working. The paragraph mark simply gets replaced with the double dollar sign.
Thanks.
In the Replace field of F&R with RegEx a new paragraph is represented as \n.
Reconsider your idea! It looks like a pretty bad one.
Spacing between paragraphs should be done using the properties of the pragraph style…
Thank you. Unfortunately I’m working with a very long, pre-existing document that is a mishmash of formats and styles, so the F&R seems like the simplest way to get it down. But I will look at the styles as a matter of learning something new.
Just click in a paragraph, or select a number of paragraphs, and press Ctrl+0 to apply Body Text style which, by default, has a Below paragraph spacing of 0.25 cm but could have been changed in your document. You can change that value in the Body Text style in the Sidebar
