Description davis_j 2006-03-25 00:43:25 UTC 
I need to replace all digits '1' in column one of my document with a page break.
 There doesn't seem to be a regex which would allow this capability unless I'm
missing something.  On the other hand, replacing text with line break (\n) works
great!
I searched the issue database.  There are many issues similar to this one for
Find and Replace.  This might be a dup of 25177.  Thanks.

This issue was originally opened on oo-writer 2.0.1.  Still an issue for me with
2.1.  It is not a duplicate of 26719.  I am searching and replacing in the
opposite direction: that is, I want to find text, then convert it to a
page-break.  The users in 26719 were searching for page-breaks.

Again, I want to find all '1' in column 1 of my document and replace with
page-break.  These are printer control codes from another platform.

So I search for regular expression '^1' no problem, but cannot find a way to
replace with page-break.  Using Replace with --> Format... --> Text flow, I find
all Breaks are grayed-out.

Thanks for help.

Even it is not really a RegEx problem, it's a missing feature. At the moment I
do not know, why the page breaks are grayed out.

Any updates on line or page brake search tools?
