The OpenOffice file format is zipped xml. So you should just be able to use zgrep, although it will miss any phrases that have extra formatting in them, such as a phrase in which part of it is underlined. Also, I'm not sure how that will handle newlines. -- CAUTION: Product will be hot after heating -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
