These two functions occur at the HTML level, so that is what it switches to. It would be difficult to guess just where you mean to search and replace..include the space afterwards, the break or paragraph tag. etc. If you have done much even with other editing functions in book view, especially related to headings, you can find you have made headings out of the following text if there was a break instead of the end of a paragraph.

You're right it is not ideal. I like WordPerfect too but there is a chance that it will introduce material that wasn't there when you jumped out into it.

It could be worthwhile to create a few line document, look at it in code view, work on it a little in WordPerfect, return to Sigil to be sure it has not added extra unwanted stuff.
