    I don’t think so above mentioned solution will work for you. according to me you have to install Macros on your system in order to carry out the replacement of the commands.

    Re: How to implement search and replace list in OpenOffice?

    I have posted below a macro file and steps to execute the same over here.
    Code:
    sub replacelist 
    rem ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
    rem define variables 
    dim document   as object 
    dim dispatcher as object 
    rem ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
    rem get access to the document 
    document   = ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame 
    dispatcher = createUnoService("com.sun.star.frame.DispatchHelper") 
    
    rem ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
    dim args1(18) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue 
    args1(0).Name = "SearchItem.StyleFamily" 
    args1(0).Value = 2 
    args1(1).Name = "SearchItem.CellType" 
    args1(1).Value = 0 
    args1(2).Name = "SearchItem.RowDirection" 
    args1(2).Value = true 
    args1(3).Name = "SearchItem.AllTables" 
    args1(3).Value = false 
    args1(4).Name = "SearchItem.Backward" 
    args1(4).Value = false 
    args1(5).Name = "SearchItem.Pattern" 
    args1(5).Value = false 
    args1(6).Name = "SearchItem.Content" 
    args1(6).Value = false 
    args1(7).Name = "SearchItem.AsianOptions" 
    args1(7).Value = false 
    args1(8).Name = "SearchItem.AlgorithmType" 
    args1(8).Value = 0 
    args1(9).Name = "SearchItem.SearchFlags" 
    args1(9).Value = 65552 
    args1(10).Name = "SearchItem.SearchString" 
    args1(10).Value = "teh" 
    args1(11).Name = "SearchItem.ReplaceString" 
    args1(11).Value = "the" 
    args1(12).Name = "SearchItem.Locale" 
    args1(12).Value = 255 
    args1(13).Name = "SearchItem.ChangedChars" 
    args1(13).Value = 2 
    args1(14).Name = "SearchItem.DeletedChars" 
    args1(14).Value = 2 
    args1(15).Name = "SearchItem.InsertedChars" 
    args1(15).Value = 2 
    args1(16).Name = "SearchItem.TransliterateFlags" 
    args1(16).Value = 1280 
    args1(17).Name = "SearchItem.Command" 
    args1(17).Value = 3 
    args1(18).Name = "Quiet" 
    args1(18).Value = true 
    
    dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:ExecuteSearch", "", 0, args1()) 
    
    args1(10).Value = "t3h" 
    args1(11).Value = "the" 
    
    dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:ExecuteSearch", "", 0, args1()) 
    
    end sub
    
    you can also add item at bottom of code just before end sub part.
    
    args1(10).Value = "t3h" : rem to be replaced 
    args1(11).Value = "the" : rem replacement 
    
    dispatcher.executeDispatch(document, ".uno:ExecuteSearch", "", 0, args1())

    Well this is a zip archive and you have to change file extension to .zip file and after that you will require DocumentList.xml.

    Another thing which I wanted to tell you over here is that you should use Altsearch extension to make the batch replace the command. It will help you to fast selection of preset regular as well as extended expressions. You can search or replace the text which can contain couple of paragraphs.
