How do I insert paragraph breaks in ‘find and replace’
I’m trying to learn LibreOffice…I’ve had Word 365 previously. I’m trying to convert a list, currently one long paragraph, into an alphabetized list by inserting paragraph break after each semi-colon. I can’t find the option for inserting format commands…tab, paragraph, dash, etc.?? How do I identify the format to insert?
You don’t insert a format, but “non printing character”. The Newline token \n
represents simple newline in the search field, but will insert a paragraph break when used in the replace field. So you need this in the find/replace dialog:
Find: ;
Replace: ;\n
