Suppose your company’s policy is to 518 avoid the use of certain words. You want to replace these words, but you 519 cannot do that automatically because you have to find the appropriate 520 replacement, which depends on the context. So instead of deleting or 521 replacing the offending words automatically, you change their color to 522 make them stand out during a subsequent manual review process.<br> 523 The following example handles two kinds of unwanted wordings: those 524 which are absolutely forbidden and must be replaced by something else, 525 and those which are considered bad style. A subroutine is responsible 526 for the changes. It can be used to make all words in a list appear in a 527 certain color in the text document. To keep the lists short, we use 528 regular expressions which provide for the variants of the words 529 (plural, adjective etc.).</td> 530 </tr> 531 <tr> 532 <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> 533 <td class="cell80"> 534 <p>The next example does something very similar. This time, however, we 535 do not change the color of the words but insert a bookmark at each of 536 them. You can thus use the StarOffice navigator to jump directly from 537 word to word. Bookmarks must first be created using 538 <code>createInstance()</code>. They are then inserted with 539 <code>insertTextContent()</code> at the current text range.</p> 540 <p>The main difference to the preceding example is the For loop in 541 <code>markList()</code>. Instead of changing the color of the current 542 word, it creates a new bookmark, oBookmark, whose name is the current 543 word with an integer appended. It then inserts this bookmark at the 544 word.</td> 545 </tr> 546 <tr> 547 <td class="cell20"><a href="basic/text/creating_an_index/" title="link to the source directory of the Apache OpenOffice %PRODUCT_RELEASE% Basic text/create_index example">Creating an Index</a></td> 548 <td class="cell80">Indices for text documents can be created manually in 549 Apache OpenOffice %PRODUCT_RELEASE% Writer by clicking on the words that should appear in the 550 index.
