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?

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
Keith, I like your solution (and Brian's, which is as elegant as the way he presented
it), but am confused about step 3: do you /really/ right-click (for context menu)?
From step 1, you already have the first letter of each paragraph in focus; don't you
just go from there to the main menu <Format-Text-UPPERCASE>? [The order of
steps 2 and 3 has no effect - or, to put it another way, step 2 is not essential to
your solution.]
