Description Yan Pas 2014-12-23 18:50:23 UTC
MS Word allows to autoreplace special characters like "New line", "Line Break" and others, and LO Writer no. Add this feature please

HI Yan,

When you create a text in Writer with for example (shift/Ctrl)Enters, images etc, select that, open Tools > Autocorrect options, fill in a name and click new, you are where you want ?

Sorry, I have meant find and replace, not autocorrection

Hi Yan

Choose Options and then Regular expressions.
Click on Help for examples.

Cheers,
Cor

Hello!
The problem resolved, it was dollar sign. But there are two more questions.
1. It was difficult to find, because of incorrect russian translation (looks like it was translated by Google translate or even something sillier, attached screenshot)
2. The way it is implemented is too complicated. I think this bug should be feature-request anyway. It is easy to code thing, just dropdown menu where, for example, dollar sign named as "New line"
Comment 8 Yan Pas 2014-12-25 00:31:41 UTC
aaaa. Help menu paragraph is not translated fully, only part of it.  Upper part means something other.

Yan, if you can please help out with localization: https://translations.documentfoundation.org/ru/libo_help
Note that many strings are wrongly translated since the OpenOffice.org era (in various languages), and a lack of volunteers means that there is insufficient manpower to improve these.
Comment 11 Yan Pas 2014-12-25 16:12:13 UTC
I will translate, but how to find that string in the bunch of huge translations?

Thanks Yan!
Can you pls make contact with the russian l10n team?
They are the best to bring your translation were it belongs.

Hello! I have always had talks with russian team and the translations are moved from suggestions to approved translation by user "bormant" (links below):
https://translations.documentfoundation.org/ru/libo_help/translate/shared/01.po#unit=33550592
https://translations.documentfoundation.org/ru/libo43_help/translate/shared/01.po#unit=78431294

According to what I see on these links - the translation must appear in the next LO release (4.3.6)
