Description cjfrench 2004-02-22 14:19:58 UTC 
I use Find & Repace to edit German text, replacing ae, ue and oe with ä, ü, etc

This works fine, but when a capitalised word starts with Oe, Ae or Ue, it gets 
found and relaced with ä, ü, etc rather than Ö, etc

(This would be easier to read (and write) if I could produce all the umlauted 
characters, but some of them, eg Alt-1-4-8, throw me off the page !)

Many for the valuable feedback (via private email) :

" It is still wrong in 2.4.0 !  Let me explain the error again.
 
When my wife or I writes a letter in German, using a UK keyboard, we 
have to use oe for ö, ae for ä, etc. For some correspondents, that's 
fine, but fussy old devils will expect to see the proper German 
characters, so I do a Find & Replace. This works fine for all the lower 
case instances, but if the first word of a sentence begins Ae..., it 
gets replaced by ä, rather than by Ä. I would accept this as something I 
shouldn't expect - if WordPerfect hadn't done it right about 10 years ago ! "

This is a duplicate of:
Issue 17188 - Find and Replace doesn't take case of original word in to account.
