------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Mar 24 13:38:55 +0000 2008 ------- SEARCH AND REPLACE NEEDS IMPROVEMENT ACROSS THE OPENOFFICE BOARD. IF YOUR GOAL IS TO COMPETE M$ OFFICE - SEARCH AND REPLACE SHOULD BE SIMILAR ENGINE RATHER THAN REGEX ENGINE. I RECOMMEND TO USE A M$ COMPATIBLE SEARCH AND REPLACE ENGINE BY DEFAULT. THERE SHOULD BE A CHECK BOX TO USE REGEX ENGINE FOR GEEKS FROM UNIX/LINUX THE BIG TURN OFF SIGN I HAD IN ADOPTING OO IS SEARCH AND REPLACE. I AM VERY HEAVY USER ON NEW LINE, TABS, AND OTHER WILD CARD PATTER MATCHING WHICH I FIND VERY SIMPLE TO USE IN M$ OFFICE. I MAY HAVE INSTALLED AND UNINSTALLED OO ABOUT 8-10 IN LAST 4-5 YEARS. - I HAVE MY EYES AND EARS OPEN FOR OO SINCE IT WAS STAR OFFICE. THANK YOU. - TO SUCCEED YOU HAVE TO BE EQUAL AND BETTER NOT JUST BETTER NO MATTER HOW STRONG REGEX IS - IT DOES NOT SEARCH AND REPLACE NEW LINE I HAVE TO REWRITE THE WHOLE DOC USING SHIFT+ENTER TO BE ABLE TO SEARCH AND REPLACE NEW LINE - ISN'T IT IRRITATING OR BULL SHIT. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
