The cell range interface com.sun.star.util.XReplaceable is derived from com.sun.star.util.XSearchable providing search and replacement of text.

• The method createReplaceDescriptor() creates a new descriptor that contains all data for the replace action. It returns the interface com.sun.star.util.XReplaceDescriptor of this descriptor.
• The method replaceAll() performs a replacement in all cells according to the passed replace descriptor.

The following example replaces all occurrences of "cell" with "text":

 // --- Replace text in all cells. ---
 com.sun.star.util.XReplaceable xReplace = (com.sun.star.util.XReplaceable)
     UnoRuntime.queryInterface(com.sun.star.util.XReplaceable.class, xCellRange);
 com.sun.star.util.XReplaceDescriptor xReplaceDesc = xReplace.createReplaceDescriptor();
 xReplaceDesc.setSearchString("cell");
 xReplaceDesc.setReplaceString("text");
 // property SearchWords searches for whole cells!
 xReplaceDesc.setPropertyValue("SearchWords", new Boolean(false));
 int nCount = xReplace.replaceAll(xReplaceDesc);
 System.out.println("Search text replaced " + nCount + " times.");
