try using the new version of the transaction report I posted.  It allows
you to search based on two criteria.

No... usually you would search transactions for quick lookups ("warranty
claim... when did I buy the dishwasher?") rather than for regular analysis
which are better done by specialised transaction reports.

FWIW Excel has better handling of dollars and numbers.

I don't think there will be a way to export gnucash data directly to open 
office format any time soon. Hower you probably don't need that as you can 
open the html file directly in open office. Sevarl users have reported doing 
this successfully already.
