Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Writer, how to replace Manual Page Breaks (CNTRL-ENTER) with a printable character string.

Honorato -

I missed seeing your message. I think you can do what you want using the Alternative Find & Replace 
extension 
(https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/alternative-dialog-find-replace-for-writer). 
As described at http://macrojtb.hys.cz/HelpAltSearch_en.html, specify \m to find manual page breaks 
and specify \r (in the Replace field) to remove them.

You did a good job of explaining your problem.
Sorry we do not have an answer to your question.
