let us say I have a string "after After after After" and I want to change it
into "efter Efter efter Efter" , i.e. each "A" (regardless of case) changed into
an "E" (but maintaining the same case as the original). In MS Word, one simply
puts "a" in the FIND and "e" in the REPLACE (leaving the "case" button alone),
and it happens automatically. In OO there is no way to do this: if you do it the
Word way, "A" will also be turned into "e". I you turn on the "same-case"
function, none of the "A" will convert, only the "a".
I found this out when I was converting the word "affterr" to "aftr" in a very
long Middle English document. I found that I had to go back and do the whole
thing over again for "Affterr" > "Aftr" (hundreds of times).
We humans can generalise that in some situations A and a, E and e, etc. need to
be considered different versions of the same thing, to be acted on similarly.
Word has been taught this, but not, it seems, OO.
