as far as I know regular expression search is not on by default. And if I search January 2014 and try to replace it with December 2014 it works. And it doesn't matter what the underlying format is, I tried text as well date format. But in general the wording you have chosen in your initial mail is not very useful to get a good answer and of course not motivating for all the people who spend hours of their spare time to either develop this program or to help other users with support. If you want a 100% MS Office you have to buy a 100% MS Office, OpenOffice is definitely the wrong choice in this case. If you are looking for a free alternative that can probably do the same job (slightly different sometimes) and can solve most of your tasks OpenOffice is probably a good choice. But please the next time when you encounter a problem please summarize your problem as precise as possible, when possible send us test document and describe simply what you have done. Then volunteers here on the list or in the forum will take the time to help you. Just think about while you enjoy the free OpenOffice Juergen > >> Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2014 19:24:51 +0000 >> From: ofarr...@iol.ie >> To: dev@openoffice.apache.org >> CC: myers_dar...@hotmail.com >> Subject: Re: Another Basic Function that doesn't Work!! >> >> On Mon, 1 Dec 2014 19:12:08 +0000 >> Darren Myers <myers_dar...@hotmail.com> wrote: >> >>> Didn't take me long, found another basic function that does not work in OO >>> >>> Who on earth built this program!
