I have just tested this on OO 2 and I was able to get it to find paragraph
marks by:
Tick the "Regular Expressions" box - you may have to click on the "more
options" button to see this.
use $ to find the end of line
Although from what I understand of your question, you really want to find
a pipe character | at the beginning of a line. In that case you would
want your criteria to be:
^|
(^ is the start of line marker)
Hope that helps,
David
