More clear question is this:
here is the scenario/problem:
- insert an image/something
- right click, caption, choose something, for ex, Illustration
- on another place in document, click menu->insert->cross-reference, choose that illustration with category name
- assume that you did this many times for many images/shapes
- One day, you decided to change all "Illustrations" to "Figures"
here is the problem:
you can change "Illustration" texts in image/frames to "figures", however, cross references remain still as "Illustration"
Temporary solution that I found:
save file with .fodt extension. This saves the file in plaintext xml ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/L... )
Then, open that file using a regular text editor,
change all "old category names" to your desire, save file
(This may not be easy if you have same string in your normal document text)
Re-open that file in libreoffice, save as you wish..
This method is much simpler than unzip-zip method, as described in https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum...
however, a direct category edit is needed for future easy use of LibreOffice.
Anyway, thanks for all works of LibreOffice Writers/coders/workers, I am more productive with LibreOffice than Mic.Office.
