As Mike said, such a function is non-trivial: Do you want it invoked every time you end a sentence? - applying only to exact-character replications, or allowing for some fuzziness in characters or even words? Does it apply to phrases? Of what minimum length? etc... There's a reason why this is a not a standard word processing function. It's not just hard to program - though a simple 8-bit CRC hash on each sentence would not be difficult nor use much processing power - but even harder to use unambiguously: There would likely be no end of user complaints and suggestions for enhancement.

From: Marius Popa on 12 Jun 2010 03:27 Finally, I believe that an option called "Duplicate sentence finder", like duplicate-finder programs, should be placed in the same Edit menu to do the task I already mentioned to you.

(snip) (Top-posting is frowned upon; mixing top and bottom is disastrously muddly. Hence the big snip. Please try to keep to the conventions! They're there for good reason!!) I reckon you are one of very, very few who would find such an option useful, and there are many more-deserving areas for the scarce resources available for OOo development. Now might be a good time for you to get out the coding manual and contribute...... -- Mike Scott --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org
