------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Apr 18 04:25:09 +0000 2008 ------- let us say I have a string "after After after After" and I want to change it into "efter Efter efter Efter" , i.e. each "A" (regardless of case) changed into an "E" (but maintaining the same case as the original). In MS Word, one simply puts "a" in the FIND and "e" in the REPLACE (leaving the "case" button alone), and it happens automatically. In OO there is no way to do this: if you do it the Word way, "A" will also be turned into "e". I you turn on the "same-case" function, none of the "A" will convert, only the "a". I found this out when I was converting the word "affterr" to "aftr" in a very long Middle English document. I found that I had to go back and do the whole thing over again for "Affterr" > "Aftr" (hundreds of times). We humans can generalise that in some situations A and a, E and e, etc. need to be considered different versions of the same thing, to be acted on similarly. Word has been taught this, but not, it seems, OO. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
