Re: [libreoffice-users] Annoying reformatting issue.

Chris -

I would try the Alternative Find and Replace extension. It's very old and unmaintained, and 
apparently it's buggy (e.g., https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38261#c28), but it 
has always done what I needed. I can't find it now at https://extensions.libreoffice.org/ but it is 
still at https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/AltSearch.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] Annoying reformatting issue.

Hi,

Ubuntu linux 23.10

LibreOffice 7.6.5.2

Before I had figured out what styles could do in Writer, I made the
newbie mistake of hand formatting everything. You can see where this is
going. I only needed a massively huge three styles to do everything I
needed. Most story submissions are pretty much the same format
requirements. If I even need another I just make new style. Very handy.

In both cases I have the same problem, although the first is a tad more
complicated as there are tabs to be removed. I have three styles. For
stories that's all you need; chapter heading, paragraph, and scene
change. At least that's all I've ever needed.

So, question; is there a way to automate the application of the styles
and remove the tabs at the beginning of paragraphs. Normal find and
replaces doesn't cut it. Otherwise I'm forced to go through several
books by hand.

Thank you.
