If you mean within the currently open document in OOo, you've already been given the answer by John Kaufman, who has suggested ^F. This also appears on the Edit menu under 'Find & Replace'. (Which in turn is readily found within the help file for OOo - F1 or the main menu.) 'Find and replace' is quite flexible, but note that some less frequently needed options are hidden by default. If you don't mean within the current document, you'll need to be clearer please as to exactly where you want to search. -- Mike Scott mike <at> <removeme>.scottsonline.org.uk Harlow Essex England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org
From: Marius Popa on 8 Jun 2010 11:40 Again, I referred to the option that warns me if I wrote a certain sentence before while I write the same sentence later. Is that an option through which I can check that?

Is that an option through > which I can check that? > Now you've changed the question. You asked before firstly if, and secondly how, you could search for text you had previously typed. Now you're asking, apparently, for some automatic alarm when you duplicate some text. That's a different question - frankly, I can't imagine that any word processor would do that as there would seem (a) to be little reason for the facility, and (b) the problem is non-trivial. I know of nothing in OOo that provides such warnings. Anyone?? -- Mike Scott mike <at> <removeme>.scottsonline.org.uk Harlow Essex England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org

You mean like a redundancy alarm? Where have you seen such an option?

From: Marius Popa on 8 Jun 2010 13:14 I did not see the option anywhere, but I thought that such an option could be useful for any user because it could save any user's time by warning him if a sentence is repeated.
