Description yaakovmaimon592 2025-05-08 20:55:55 UTC 
Description:
In Writer, you cannot search for and replace paragraph marks and other non-printing characters. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. It is a missing feature that Microsoft Word has in navigator, advanced find, special characters, paragraph mark/others.
LibreOffice doesn't have it that I can find. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Actual Results:
it doesn't have the feature.

Expected Results:
The software should allow/have an option to find non-printing/special characters that can't be typed (e.g. the paragraph mark that can be viewed using show non-printing characters). Or at least have an option to be able to type something like ^p to search for paragraph marks.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
I really want to have this feature so that I don't have to use Word for it.
