Thanks, John. You are right. I always have to complicate things!

I have been using the voice typing feature in Google Chrome to write
some documents, then download them in .odt format for editing.
I find that it consistently starts a new paragraph with a lower case
first letter. So I need to find the first letter of every paragraph
in the document and convert it to upper case.
I thought of using Find and Replace with Regular Expressions, which
is easy. ^[:lower:] finds every lower case letter which is the first
letter of a paragraph. But when I enter [:upper:] in the replace box
it simply pastes the text [:upper:] . I have both the "match case"
and "regular expressions" boxes ticked.
Is there a way to do this other than going through the document ad
replacing manually?

To answer my own question:
1. Use the Find and Replace box and Reg. Exp.. Click on "Find All".
2. Close "Find and Replace" dialog.
3. Right click on one of the highlighted letters. Format- Text- Upper
case
Keith, I like your solution (and Brian's, which is as elegant as the
way he presented it), but am confused about step 3: do you /really/
right-click (for context menu)? From step 1, you already have the
first letter of each paragraph in focus; don't you just go from there
to the main menu <Format-Text-UPPERCASE>? [The order of steps 2 and 3
has no effect - or, to put it another way, step 2 is not essential to
your solution.]
