In a spreadsheet, you can hide arbitrary rows and/or columns. So let's

left visible

The fundamental restriction is that a cell in a spreadsheet can contain
a value or it can contain a formula. A single cell cannot contain both a
value and a formula using that value to construct a *different* value

What OO version? What OS? Do you have multiple versions of OO installed?
Has this *always* happened ever since you installed OO, or did it just

In a Regular Expression search, if [:space:] and [:digit:] only work
with + or * or {}, it's a bug.
[:space:] by itself, all alone, should recognize exactly one white
character.
Square brackets enclose a character class. A character class is a list
of atoms. An atom is a matchable entity.
As far as I can tell, from the documentation and my own experiments, OOo
does not save backreferences from the search pattern to use in the
replacement pattern.
Even in a Regular Expression *search*, the *replacement* expression is
not a regular expression, it's a simple text string.
