Folks,

These 2 are the same solution.

It works fine when a 'find and replace' is preformed on a single paragraph mark, i.e. hard return, appears as ¶,is replaced with anything else.

I have a similar problem.

I sometimes, especially when copying and pasting text from a WEB page, find 2 hard returns one after another.

How can I search for double hard returns, ¶¶, and replace them with single hard returns, ¶.

referring to
https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Regular_Expressions_in_Writer#Tabs.2C_newlines.2C_paragraphs_.5Ct_.5Cn_.24

Tick "Regular expressions" in "Search and replace" dialog. Search for $,
replace with space.

In your case replace with \t
