To answer my own question:

1. Use the Find and Replace box and Reg. Exp.. Click on "Find All".

2. Close "Find and Replace" dialog.

3. Right click on one of the highlighted letters. Format- Text- Upper case

I have been using the voice typing feature in Google Chrome to write some documents, then download them in .odt format for editing.

I find that it consistently starts a new paragraph with a lower case first letter. So I need to find the first letter of every paragraph in the document and convert it to upper case.

I thought of using Find and Replace with Regular Expressions, which is easy. ^[:lower:] finds every lower case letter which is the first letter of a paragraph. But when I enter [:upper:] in the replace box it simply pastes the text [:upper:] . I have both the "match case" and "regular expressions" boxes ticked.

Is there a way to do this other than going through the document ad replacing manually?

Thank you

Keith
