I have found two programs performing search & replace action within
multiple OpenOffice documents:
1) PowerGREP
2) OpenOffice Writer Find and Replace In Multiple Documents Software
However, I could not make the PowerGREP to do a replacement due to
some problems cased by a broken IFilter, cf.
http://www.powergrep.com/openoffice.html
Can anybody give some help how to make PowerGREP work?
Can anybody suggest other tools to perform such a job?

Well ... as long as you're careful not to change the wrong things in a NOF
file and don't change the extensions of the files, I've found Notepad++ and
NoteTabPro to both be excellent at that. Both have free versions. The only
limit to how many files you can open at once is your computer's memory. You
can Search and Replace in all files, only some of the files, or a single
file, count occurrences, lots of things like that. I use the for IDEs for
PHP; quite handy, really.

and

for NoteTab.
They make it wasy at Fookes to write your own libs for the program too,
which I've done for PHP. I liked it enough I bought the Pro version and
it's an excellent app, especially for the price. Personally I highly
recommend it but Notepadd++ has some niceties others might appreciate too so
I included it here.
Good luck,
Twayne
