OpenOffice.org and thus NeoOffice/J use a somewhat convoluted Find-and-Replace syntax. This page will hopefully demystify some of the commonly-used commands.

Returns/Blank Lines

  • standard: check "Regular Expressions" box, then fill in ^$ (end of paragraph), $ (end of line)
  • there is no way to replace two returns; Iannz's Find & Replace Macro will do this

Tabs

  • \t for some strange reason

Etc.

  • Codes of "Find" box different from those of "Replace" box
