I wanted to find and replace all instances of a) "4o" with b) "4o", where "o" in the latter was transformed into a superscript "o" (like the degree sign) in the main window of Writer. I tried to copy it from the main window of Writer and paste it into the "find and replace" window, but it didn't work.

It would be great if "find & replace" would obey copy-pasted format rules of text, so that I could easily substitute all instances of "4o" to "4" and superscript "o".
