------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Oct 10 12:46:23 -0700 2006 ------- When attempting to perform a Find and Replace in Calc, the program will not replace what is "found" with text that contains the "&" (ampersand). Additionally, using backslash before the ampersand (\&) didn't seem to work, or using backslashed Unicode (in theory \xDDDD, wth "D" replaced by digits) to insert an ampersand in the replace string. For example, if I am using regular expressions to find cells that begin with "Bill & Bob", I will enter "Bill & Bob.*" and it finds all of the cells. The problem is that if I wanted to Replace this with "Billy & Bobby", it will chop off everything from the "&" to the end (leaving me with just "Billy". From what I understand, this is a limitation of the "&" expression, but shouldn't this still work using the \& or \xDDDD?
