Idon't mean to steal this thread but I've had similar problems
with replacing tabs ('\t') with spaces (' ') or ('\040'). I rough-
draft everything in vi because my fingers know it; but it takes
some prep'n to translate a vi file for OO.
It would really help to be able to replace a tab-indented
paragraph with a standard 5-space-indent paragraph. Or tabs
with spaces.
just my dime's worth :-)
