Turning off a feature
I find it really difficult to use the Help Section, because the majority of the time - as I am sure many of us self taught people can relate to - I do not know what a certain feature is "officially" called. Maybe in future versions one could POINT or mouse click on an icon or whatever it is bugging you and find out what it is?
Right now, I'm having problems getting back to my document after using the find and replace feature (which I couldn't get to do what I wanted, but that's another story. Now I can't switch it off. The double arrow in the margin that is used to click down a page at the time instead of scrolling, is highlighted in blue and thus does not work. How do I turn it off, back to normal? I wish I'd never tried to use it, but you know It's there, it's supposed to make one's life easier... right now I think manually reading my 300pg document would have been quicker....
Help! I have a deadline to meet...

Maybe this tutorial might help on how to use search and replace:

Thanks,
Amali.

When you close the document and open it again, the already set find and replace options will go away. This is one solution I know of right now.
Every time you do find and replace, the values&options are set and when you click double arrow to go the next page, it is doing a find of the word you set in the dialog.
You can use menu View->Navigator and enter the page number to navigate to a particular page in OO document.
Thanks,
Amali.

hi dev,
This seems to be bug in Find & Replace dialog box in AOO. I opened AOO, wrote some pages, clicked on Find and Replace box, first time it worked, but when I closed it and clicked on double arrow >> to go to next page, I get two boxes, saying, " Open Office writer has searched to the end of document. Do you want to continue from the beginning?" and "Search Key not Found".
Thanks,
Amali.

Use Help → What's This? (or press [Shift]+[F1]) and locate the mouse
cursor about the icon for which you need a description.

Click onto the point between the arrows -> the mini navigator opens. Now
click onto the page icon to switch back from "Repeat search".
