Subject: [discuss] Joining paragrphs in writer


>I have used first StarOffice and now openoffice since the days of
> SO-4-or-5.something, and find it to be the best office suite for my
> purposes. My thanks go to everyone who has contributed to it :-)
>
> Recently I installed fedora 7 on a machine, and much to my surprise I
> found that the old release of applix office I had installed there now
> found right system libraries and could actually run again (it didn't
> work well for me with fc5 and fc6).
>
> That discovery prompted me to take a long look at it (we had thousands
> of documents in applix office, and I could now recover some of them -
> graphics and all - if everything now worked).
>
> I was reminded of one feature in applix office that I really liked - an
> easy way to join paragraphs. But I cannot seem to find it in writer.
> It is listed in the help info, but going to the link on the help page,
> the technique doesn't seem to be there ... unless I am just totally
> misreading the page.

> Is there an easy way other than doing a manual search and replace,

> comparison, it was both quicker and faster simply to highlight the
> broken up text and hit a single selection to join them into one
> paragraph in applix.

> I thought about writing (and submitting) a macro do to this, but
> decided to ask first - no sense re-inventing the wheel.
