Operation Manual

4) When you have set up your search, click Find. To replace the found text, click Replace.
For more information on using Find & Replace, see the Writer Guide.
Tip
If you click Find All, LibreOffice selects all instances of the search text in the
document. Similarly, if you click Replace All, LibreOffice replaces all matches.
Caution
Use Replace All with caution; otherwise, you may end up with some hilarious (and
highly embarrassing) mistakes. A mistake with Replace All might require a
manual, word-by-word, search to fix.
Inserting special characters
A special character is one not found on a standard English keyboard. For example, © ¾ æ ç ñ ö ø
¢ are all special characters. To insert a special character:
1) Place the cursor where you want the character to appear.
2) Choose Insert > Special Character to open the Special Characters dialog.
3) Select the characters (from any font or mixture of fonts) you wish to insert, in order, then
click OK. The characters selected for insertion are shown in the lower left of the dialog. As
you select a character, it is shown on the right, along with its numerical code.
Note
Different fonts include different special characters. If you do not find a particular
special character, try changing the Font selection.
