Hi :) 4.1.0 is very early on in that branches life-cycle.  I typically wait for the x.x.4 rather than the x.x.0.  Can you post a bug-report about it and get back to 4.0.3 or something?  I still have a lot of machines on around 3.5.4 but 3.6.x is better.  I meant to upgrade all machines to 4.0.4

Hi :) Are you using Impress to make the document?  Impress might be the best tool for the job.  Alternatively could you create the document, save as html and then edit the html coding?  That sounds a bit messy.  I tend to write html in a text-editor to avoid all the added extras other

Hi :) I think what you are asking for can't be done.  It might be worth asking on the devs list to see if they have some quick way of diving into the code or it might be worth posting a bug-report about it as a feature request.  There might already be a bug-report although i seem to remember

Hi :) Ahhh, they might have pulled some bad formatting with them.  I often find it's good to make a fresh start in LibreOffice at some point.  For normal text doing Ctrl Shift v to Paste Special and then choose unformatted text gets rid of a lot of messy formatting.  Then apply and modify

Hi :) It's really good to see more people sharing code on this list.  Looks like a useful function to have.  Sometimes it is more useful to have a working bit of code that is a mess rather than something elegant that doesn't work.  It follows the philosophy of Release early and release often.

Hi :) You are not yet thinking in the LO way.  The modules/apps (such as Writer, Calc, Draw) are not separate programs in the way you seem to be trying to use them.  This is very different from MS Office.  With MSO if you open 2 of the apps then you pretty much double the amount of space taken
