[Solved] How to delete all line feed and carriage-return
by fazillatheef Wed Feb 24, 2010 7:09 am
The following was the method that I used ,but it didn't work 1. Open the document and press Ctrl+F , The find and replace dialog will pop up.2. Click on more options and check Regular expression.3. Searched for [\r\n] .
I had enabled " Display non printable character ". I expected the carriage return and linefeeds to be selected.
But nothing was selected. Please Help!!!Thanks in AdvanceLast edited by fazillatheef on Wed Feb 24, 2010 11:08 am, edited 1 time in total.Open Office org 3.0.1 in Windows Vista

My company has more than 1.5 lakh employees. So I work in an office enviroment where we are restricted from updating or installing softwares. Theupdate for Openoffice need to be added into our SOE(Standard Operating environment- stupid name to restrict us from updating software). Even thoughI have given quite a few requests to the team responsible ,they haven't initiated it.
The transition from Microsoft Office to Open office wasn't smooth. All the templates are using macros written in VBA which are incompatible with Openoffice. There are many other problems too. Since the program update don't happen properly these problems never get solved. And everyone's blamingOpen Office for that.
Thanks for your interestOpen Office org 3.0.1 in Windows Vista

\n has just worked for me using standard Find and Replace. When I enable Display non printing characters, Shift Enter gives a backward pointing arrow.I was able to te ll F&R to look for \n and replace with %%. Your combination \n\r tells it to find the newline character , followed by a "literal r", asOpenOffice does not interpret the \r as a carriage return. I think you may have to wait until someone more familiar with regular expressions comes online- I use the Alt Search when I have complicated sea rching, so don't know regular expressions well.
Edit: A large macro to remove excess line breaks f rom documents is given and discussed athttp://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=6429&highlight=ascii . It may be overkill for your needs.
