[libreoffice-users] Find and replace graphics

2012-08-29 Thread timecode
Hello Community,

I have a problem with LibreOffice Writer (3.5.4.2) I just can't figure out.

I save copies of essays from a scientific database. This database adds a
little graphic to each footnote. I want to erase all these graphics from my
documents. But how can I do that?

Is there an option that enables me to select all identical objects within
the document after I selected one?


Any help will be much appreciated!


Best regards,
timecode

Hi :)
There is a way to cheat ;)

Make a copy of the file (hopefully a .Odt but it works with .DocX too) and 
change the file-ending from .Odt to .Zip.  Then just double-click on the file 
and it should open as though it was a compressed file with some sub-folders 
inside.  One of those sub-folders should be called something like images or 
pictures.  Delete it!  Now change the file-ending back from .Zip to .Odt and 
magically you have no images in your file.  

It's a bit of a dirty cheat and might not go completely according to plan so 
it's best to keep an original version and just work on the copy.  

Of course you don't really need to change the file-ending at all as you can 
right-click on a file and choose Open with and then select an archive manager 
such as WinRar, or WinZip or something better.  

Regards from
Tom :)
