Description David Nelson 2010-11-09 11:13:08 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #31480 +++
I cloned it because it apparently got closed due to unclear explanation...

Hi, :-)

In Word of Microsoft Office, when you do a find/replace, you have a dropdown list enabling you to easily include many non-printing characters to search for, such as

- carriage return
- new line
- tab mark
- page break
- non-breaking spaces
- and various others.

In LibO Writer, You can only do this via regular expressions. But your average user is incapable of using regular expressions.

Could you possibly add a similar dropdown box to the find/replace boxes of the LibO components?

Thanks if so, and thanks very much for your work. :-)

David, what's the matter?  Nobody closed Bug #31480.  Please stop cloning existing bugs like this.  You can simply re-open a bug if you believe it's unjustly closed.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 31480 ***

Changed [RTF] to [RFE] : nothing to do with RTF file format.
Closing
