Edit the paragraph style called Default (1): most paragraph styles depends on it so this will fix almost all your problems. If not, that's because your document is full of direct formatting: just select all text and press Ctrl+M to apply default formatting.
(1) Open the Stylists with F11, scroll until you find the Default paragraph style, right click on it and Edit -> Indent and spacing tab. Writer is about the use of styles, you need to learn how to use them, otherwise you will have lots of headaches ;) 2011/2/21 AG <computing.acco...@googlemail.com>: > On 21/02/11 21:41, RGB ES wrote: >> >> Format -> Paragraph -> Indents and spacing.
