AltSearch looks great, but when I try to run it in Writer I get the following error:

"BASIC runtime error.
An exception occurred.
Type: com.sun.star.container.NoSuchElementException
Message: ."
and the following line of code is highlighted.
GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.LoadLibrary("Tools") ' natahnout std. knihovnu

I'm using Windows XP SP2, OO.o version 2.4.1. I am not very experienced in OO Macros.

I suspect a library called Tools is missing; there is a library with that name in the OpenOffice.org Macros container, but it seems to contain no modules. If this is the problem, where can I find the modules?

I would very much like to use this extension, so could someone help me? Many thanks.

The Extension I haven't tried yet. But I need to search for paragraphs and replace them by blanks or tabs. By copy and past I find a text an this text with several paragraphs has to be merged into one large block. It has to be guaranteed, that no paragraph sign is left inside the text.

Sometimes I need the opposite. Each blank or tab sign inside the text should be replaced by a paragraph sign, so that becomes one large column with one word in a line.

Really good extension. It's very useful to convert texts form Writer to Spip. Thanks a lot.

Localisation of AltSearch is possible in next steps:

1. Download files AltSearch_localisation_v1.1.ods and AltSearchHelp_1.1_en.html. First file contains (almost) all strings, second is help file in html format, created in OOo webWriter, I recommend to translate it just in OOo webWriter and keep used paragraphs and characters styles.

2. Finally send translated files to me, e-mail is inside first file.

When you start to translate it, please report it here, so someone else is not doing the same translation.

Thanks to everyone who offered translation.

Hello,

This looks like a great thing, but for some reason, I can't get the batch mode to work. When I try to run a batch, it gives me an error message:
Bt_run: Unknown command: [Find], and the same for all others, i.e. [Replace], [Parameters], etc. It's probably not a mistake I made in writing the batch, since none of the built-in batches work either. The regular method (simply type the find and replace strings in the window) works fine, as does the counter.

Even when I save a command that already worked as a batch, I get the error when the batch is executed, since it makes the batch with the same syntax as used in the others.

Is there some setting that I missed?

By the way, the error disappears when I removed the brackets around the commands in the AltSearchScript file. But when I did that, the batch ran, but didn't actually do anything.

I'm running OOo 2.3.0 on Ubuntu 7.10
