Specifically, from the find/replace reg ex help: To change a line break into a paragraph break, enter \n in the Search for and Replace with boxes, and then perform a search and replace. Firstly, this simply replaces every soft-linebreak with the literal "\n", secondly whatEVER you enter in the replace box seems to STILL replace every soft-linebreak with the literal "\n" after that. Editing a PPT format file. May seem minor but I have about 100 presentations of 5 or so slides each that all need this modification!!! And yes I do have the "Regular Expressions" switch on.
