Thanks for telling us. It's always satisfying to help. As in all computer usage, knowing what to call things is a huge hindrance, not just for newbies. When I worked in development at IBM, this was a daily concern. In fact, given the number of computer languages there are and the number of ethnic languages there are, it's a wonder that any of it works at all. So, somehow, we've managed to learn to communicate, despite the challenges. That is why your "Googleing 'repeating list item open office'" produced no "hits." In OpenOffice, as in many other types of software, to find things (words, formats, etc.) we call that "pattern matching." Therein lies the reason for my suggesting "regular expressions." If you'll click on HELP, in any of the OpenOffice applications and search for "regular expressions," as well as Google for it, you can learn more about that helpful feature than you ever wanted to know! It's not hard to use, just a little tricky; requiring GREAT attention to detail, character by character. I suggest you copy and paste some text from some document and paste it into a new document called REGEXP_TESTING and commence experimenting with it. Some mastery of its use, even though mastery is not totally complete, can be helpful to anyone. As you achieve each "success," take a minute to record it in that same testing file and identify it with a meaningful phrase, meaningful to YOU. This can be a tremendous help, especially when we're not looking for the same patterns every day. It helps to have a record of what we've learned so that we can refer to it the next time we need it.

However, none of them are repeating in any sense. Is there some form of automatic repeating that I am unfamiliar with? Googleing "repeating list item open office" does not lead me to believe that there is. I should mention that now my OOo config is reset to stock condition, the list items are matched on "paragraph" and I can select them with a keyboard shortcut for "select paragraph". So the issue at hand is solved.
