Hi Allison,
It's not too difficult using a wildcard replacement:
With wildcards it's pretty easy too...
Check "Match wildcards",
Find what: -{3,}^13([!13]@^13)
Replace with: \1^m
-{3;} matches 3 or more hyphens, ^13 a paragraph mark, [!^13] any character
*but* a paragraph mark, and [!^13]@ any number of such aforementioned
characters.
(In some language versions, you have to use {3;} ... depending on whether
the field delimiter in your language is a comma or a semicolon.
Put together, -{3,}^13 matches a lot of hyphens hyphens followed by a
paragraph mark, ([!13]@^13) any paragraph.
Since I've put (brackets) around the latter expression, I can re-use the
matched text in the replacement, using \1 ... and ^m is a manual page break.
Regards,
Klaus

Did I mention it's simple? And that I don't proofread my posts before I hit
"Send"?
