I have a numbered list of items in an ODF file. How do I search for
the item numbered 10? If I use control F, type 10 for the search key,
it reports search key not found.
If you need more information to answer this, please ask.
What you try to achieve, is searching in the field values - which the
numbers in a numbered list are.
I can see no way to do that. Other than writing a macro for it. But if
your need is great enough for that work ...
A dirty work around may be: copy the text, paste special>unformatted
text in a new document, and search there :-\
Sorry that I can't be of any more help on this,

I have list numbered by OpenOffice.org writer, say, something like this,
but 150 items
1. this
2. that
3. something other
4. something else
5. yet another
6. two
7. three
I want to search for item numbered 100 BY SEARCHING FOR the key, 100. I
know NOTHING about what is in the list. I want item 100.
Searching for 100 gives "key not found."
