Hi :)
Hmm, sadly Writer doesn't seem to do quite the same thing as GEdit.

With GEdit i could;
1.  select all 10 files,
2.  right-click to open in GEdit,
3.  do the search in any of the documents
4.  Ctrl z to close that document and arrive in the next automatically
5.  when i open the find dialogue it already has the search criteria i used
in the last document

Sadly with Writer i'd have to copy&paste the criteria each time.  I guess
that's another argument in favour of tabbed UI
Regards from
Tom :)

I am sure I'm not quite following what is ultimately wanted but about opening multiple copies, but suppose I have a directory containing the desired files, say, 1.doc, 2.doc, Another.doc; is there a verbot against going into the directory and doing

soffice *.doc

at the commandline? or does this not work?

but pardon and ignore me if I'm way off-target.

  Mmm. Will take a look at how to make such a request.

  Well, if, say, there are 10 documents in the list to be searched, how
would one open all 10 conveniently?
