Hi folks, This may be a simple question, excuse me if so, but I'm none too familiar with Open Office, I'm only using it for compatibility purposes. I HAVE looked at the help information, and if it tells me how to do this, then I'm missing it.
I have a draft of a bridge (the card game) book to work on. My co-author and I have decided to use the suit symbols where possible, and I need to make that change retrospectively. I know how to substitute the red suit symbols for hearts and diamonds (I cheat by copying the symbols from elsewhere in the text) but I can't work out how to then switch back to black text after I've done the substitution, if I change the text after the substituted symbol then it comes out in red, which is NOT what I want. I tried adding a unique string in black after the symbol and then substituting that out, nope, doesn't work, I still have the problem that I seem to have switched to red text. This would take me about two minutes in dear old Word Perfect, I've spent more than two hours trying to solve the problem in OO. Can someone please save my remaining sanity and tell me how to do this, I have a LOT of symbols to substitute, far too many to do them by hand. Secondary question: Is there any such thing as a 'reveal codes' option in Open Office where you can see all these things like font changes etc. embedded in your document? Thanks, Brian. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
