![]() ![]() macros are also available to deal with the preservation of paragraphs and sundry other items previously mentioned. txt and using the wysiwyg facility of Libreoffice or Wordperfect keeps the process at user level. Many thanks for the suggestion, but exporting from Pages to. So the question seems to have been resolved by your posting showing direct file editing from outside Pages - an environment where you can address characters by their hex values. This is not unexpected, as allowing access to these codes is a sure fire way of having casual users destroy documents, and blame Pages for their own ineptitude. You can see below that your suggestion of searching for \n (with or without quotes) does not find newline/carriage return, though it does find cr/lf (carriage return line feed) otherwise named Paragraph ends To do so would require a means of defining the targeted control, typically either by keying the control to the search box, or by using an escape character combination - specifying a new line as /n for example. The find box cannot be persuaded to search for controls - for example 'start underline' or 'font change' and all the rest. So going back to the query, "Is it possible to use Pages find and replace to find new line/carriage return characters, which are normally 'invisible' and non-printing?" (dealing with any double spaces is another requirement which requires a search and replace for a space, outside the scope of this query) In this case, and frequently in imported text, we have to re-insert a space. Now, as per my first posting, we desire to remove the new line/carriage return characters from within the text. Sentence endings are denoted by a full stop and two spaces (two spaces being a convention, not a requirement. text flow is handled by the application calculating presentation line length according to the paper and margins, with indent/outdent overrides(if any) and the font character widths. A carriage return/new line, also known as a paragraph marker is the reversed P.Īs part of a presentation standard, text is always without new lines keyed. It starts with a block of text as shown below, For sake of common definition, I refer to a new line as being the control shown as a down and left arrow when using 'show invisibles' in Pages. The discussion is splintering - lets bring this thread back together. ![]()
