Re: [libreoffice-users] Suggestion Find & Replace

Have you looked into the Alternate version of Search Replace extension?
Does it work better for your needs?  I was just wondering.  Since 
"Thomas" went and created an alternative version, it might be better 
than the one that is default for LO.

Below is a quote about it from the OOo extension site [which still works 
sporadically]

quote:

Alternative dialog Find & Replace for Writer
by Tomas Bilek
    * Fast selection preset regular and extended expressions
    * Searched or replaced text can contain one or more paragraphs
    * Search out block of paragraphs delimited by two text marks
    * Multiple search and replacement in one step
    * Searching: Notes, Text fields, Cross-references and Reference 
marks to their content, name or mark and their inserting
    * Searching and inserting Footnote and Endnote (from version OOo 
2.3 only). It is possible to select at once texts of all footnotes or 
endnotes and to assign them any style

I have attached it to this posting for the copy that I have sent 
directly to you.  For the list, I include the direct link from the OOo 
site. http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/download/4114

It does not look like it is on the LO Extension Center, yet.
