Chapter 2: Working With OpenOffice.org

Searching for Special Formats

By clicking the Format button, one opens a dialogue from which to select the specific

formats in the search. For example, if one has manually centered a few lines in the text, find

them using the options of Format in the Find & Replace dialogue. Now let's say that the

found attribute must be replaced with another, to do this take the following steps:

1. Position the cursor in the Replace with field.

2. Click the Format button.

3. Choose the replacement attribute.

The chosen attributes are listed under the Search for and Replace with fields. If no

replacement is indicated for the attribute found in the text, the default settings are

automatically applied.

Similarity Search

This function seeks not only for the search term, but also for similarly typed words. As

needed, fine-tune the degree of similarity by clicking the button immediately to the right of

the “Similarity search” checkbox.

List of Regular Expressions

This list is also in Help but is included here as a convenience.

Character Result/Use

. Represents any single character. The search term "sh.rt" finds both "shirt" and "short".

^ Using ^Peter will find this search term only if it appears at the beginning of a paragraph.

Special characters (for example, blank spaces and character-anchored frames) at the

beginning of a paragraph are ignored.

$ This symbol represents the paragraph mark for use in a regular expression. For example,

using $ will only find the search term if it appears at the end of a paragraph. So, if one

searches for, say, Peter at the end of a paragraph, enter Peter$ in the Search for box.

Special characters (for example, blank spaces and character-anchored frames) at the end

of a paragraph are ignored.

^$ Enter ^$ in the Search box to find empty paragraphs.

* Finds zero or more of the character immediately in front of the "*". For example,

"Ab*c" finds "Ac", "Abc", "Abbc", "Abbbc", and so on.

+ The character before this symbol must appear at least once: "AX+4" finds "AX4",

“AXX4”, but not "A4".

? Finds zero or one of the characters in front of the "?". For example, "Texts?" finds the

words "Texts" and "Text".

\ Only finds the character (no digits) that is specified. Used to turn off any special

interpretation of the character by OpenOffice. For example, if one searches for “\*+” ,

”*”, “**” and “***” will be found. That is, the regular expression interpretation of '*' is

turned off only for that one instance.
