Description Unknown 2003-08-24 00:56:49 UTC 
The singular item "Find & Replace" in Main Menu can cause confusion to MS Word 
users for functionality for "Find" ing words without need for replacing. While 
OOO Writer does not have this as a seperate item one can get around in the now 
present "Find & Replace" box.

It is suggested a simple substitution of "&" with "-" in menu and box to 
read "Find - Replace" will solve seeming lack of functionality with a small 
change in Help too.

Hi, 

I found that this issue is already started but have no target. 
Please consider to set the target, as it is already started.
Thanks

Thank you, Utomo, for pointing this out. 
I set the target to oo.o 2.0 in hopes that I can get it decided by
then in conjunction with other similar menu issues.

Liz->MMP: no matter how small the change, if I rename it, the entire
documentation and translation thereof has to be edited. Therefore, we might as
well consider separating this one entry into two entries because that makes the
same amount of work with possibly much more benefit for the user. 

So, sending to you for consideration in the course of the menu restructuring.

Please note: Utomo's suggestion of a simple substitution of "&" with "-" in menu
and box to read "Find - Replace" will not make the menu entry any clearer,
especially in the localizations that do not use the characters "&" or "-" anyway.

I agree with Liz.  Furthermore, adding  a hyphen  is uncommon to OOo's and MS's
menu structure. Can you please close this task? Thanks, Matthias.
