Thanks for the suggestions. The asterisks that show in the left margin did not appear in the original text, but somehow appeared when I pasted the text into this editor, so I should have deleted them for accuracy's sake. I think the asterisks may indicate paragraph or line-break symbols, but, again, were not apparent in the original. I will try the regex suggestion; that code makes sense. Do you know if I can do this using openoffice's text editor? I have the "alternative" find-replace app installed. Or should I use calibre? If neither of those, what is the regex editor of choice?
