I have a plain text document that has a paragraph mark at the end of each line.
I want to select all but the last line of the paragraph, find the specific paragraph marks and replace them with a single space.
How do I find paragraph marks?
In MS Word I can select select the paragraph from a drop down menu.
Thanks

Have you read the Survival guide for the forum?
Sorry if you tried and came up empty, but we encourage everyone to try a search before asking a question. This particular question comes up very frequently.
A search for "Replace paragraph marks" gives me this thread (among others): Removing Paragraph per line of text.
The bottom line is that OOo Writer does not handle this common task very easily or well, but it can be done with a little effort.
If you can't find what you need in that thread, just ask here.

I have written a macro to do this task.
