You use Regular Expressions to do this in Find and Replace. An example
is in our FAQs,
http://documentation.openoffice.org/faqs/word_processing/016.html and
there is a bit in the User Guide,
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/OOo2.x/user_guide2_draft.pdf
along with a good reference to background on regular expressions.

Hope this helps.
