ü and such is a problem, does not get replaced in document. Any idea ?

 matrix = Array(_
...
   Array ("überragend"," outstanding "),_

...

 oReplace = oDoc.createReplaceDescriptor()

  For i= Lbound(matrix,1) To Ubound(matrix,1)
  
    
     oReplace.SearchString = matrix(i)(0)           'Regular expression. Match any text
     oReplace.ReplaceString =  matrix(i)(1)           'Note the & places the found text back
     oReplace.SearchRegularExpression=False  'Use regular expressions
     oReplace.SearchCaseSensitive = False
     oReplace.searchAll=True                'Do the entire document
  
     oDoc.replaceAll(oReplace)
  Next i

Do explain following:
have two doc opened. In one there is iiberragend in bwetween of all other stuff, Copy all to second opened doc and ii becomes ü.

Doing replace on second doc.
Must be something with encoding .... ü that I see not realy beeing ü.

Encoding in ODF documents is always UTF-8.

So, the doc 1 has really been MS doc, after saving it into odt, copy paste does not produce ü anymore , ii stays ii.

Copy and Paste your entire document into a blank .odt file; this should remove most, if not all, of MS .doc's voodoo.

MS docs before Office 97 may have different encodings. When you have to open such things:
menu:File>Open...
Choose file type "MS Word 6.0 / 95 (*.doc)"
