Hi :) Sorry you have not had a reply! Would this be easier on the command-line? ie something scriptable? As you probably know ODF files, such as .Odt or .Ods, are zipped containers containing Xml files. Apparently the Xml files, such as "Contents.xml" can be parsed by command-line tools such as "grep". I have no idea how to do this though! :(
There was a turgid thread several months ago, maybe a year ago, but i don't think we got to a neat and suitable answer for the person asking (i think they were using Windows and needed a gui). There might be an Extension/add-on/plug-in for something like this.
