Thank you for response!

I spent some time with regular expressions, but it seems I'm too stupid for that. Do you have any suggestions, what I have to write in field 'Replace with'. In the field 'Search for' I can write something like [0123456789],[0123456789].

In Latvian we are using 'comma' as standard decimal separator, but when I have to prepare scientific publication, even in local language, I usually have to change 'comma' to 'dot' in numbers and it's quite time consuming operation. Some 10 years ago I wrote visual basic macro to do mass change of 'comma' to 'dot' and vice versa in Word, but unfortunately I lost it.

Is there any easy way to do this operation in Writer, using macros or Find and replace function?

Hello.

For me (OOo 3.0.1 PPC), it is under "Edit" menu, "Find & Replace..."
sub-menu. In the Find & Replace dialog, there is also an "options"
button giving you more choices, such as regular expressions, etc.

HTH.
