Suppose your company’s policy is to 545 avoid the use of certain words. You want to replace these words, but you 546 cannot do that automatically because you have to find the appropriate 547 replacement, which depends on the context. So instead of deleting or 548 replacing the offending words automatically, you change their color to 549 make them stand out during a subsequent manual review process.<br> 550 The following example handles two kinds of unwanted wordings: those 551 which are absolutely forbidden and must be replaced by something else, 552 and those which are considered bad style. A subroutine is responsible 553 for the changes. It can be used to make all words in a list appear in a 554 certain color in the text document. To keep the lists short, we use 555 regular expressions which provide for the variants of the words 556 (plural, adjective etc.).</td> 557 </tr> 558 <tr> 559 <td class="cell20"><a href="basic/text/modifying_text_automatically/" title="link to the source directory of the Apache OpenOffice %PRODUCT_RELEASE% Basic text/modifying_text_automatically examples">Inserting Bookmarks</a></td> 560 <td class="cell80"> 561 <p>The next example does something very similar.

Bookmarks must first be created using 565 <code>createInstance()</code>. They are then inserted with 566 <code>insertTextContent()</code> at the current text range.</p> 567 <p>The main difference to the preceding example is the For loop in 568 <code>markList()</code>. Instead of changing the color of the current 569 word, it creates a new bookmark, oBookmark, whose name is the current 570 word with an integer appended.
