Re: [libreoffice-users] Styles and regular expression in libreoffice

Hi all

Thanks for your suggestion but it isn't a way I can walk.
I have documents of more than 500 pages, if I must reformat all I never end

I can't remove all formatting and start from scratch because it take too 
many time.
I can't remove all blank paragraphs because many of them are useful.
I can't use regex for automatize the work.
It's really a sin.

So well, I must work on Office Word first for formatting document and 
then convert it.
I would want to work totally on libreoffice but it isn't possible evidently.

Thanks to all
