Description gosselinf 2005-02-23 15:22:06 UTC 
My problem is the following:

if I use the generic characters option in the "Edit/find & replace procedure" 
and I want to replace say "87" or "97" by "8" or "9": I use "([8-9])7" in the 
find window, but if I use "\1" in the replace window (as in MS Word and as 
suggested in the help file on generic charcaters about the use of () ), it just 
replaces "87" or "97" by "\1".

Is this a bug or is there another way to do this?

Sincerely,

F. Gosselin

Not a bug, but a missing feature.
