Hi :) I don't seem to be able to get the (wrong) results as described. I'm attaching a quick little simple example file to give a few examples of what it sounds like you are doing - and a table method. Obviously i have missed something from the description so hopefully you'll be able to clarify what you are doing.
On the other hand maybe my file might be free of formatting issues and prove useful in getting the task done. If that's the case i might upload it to Nabble so that other people can use it but i haven't done anything particularly special so i doubt it's going to help in this way. When any word-processor behaves badly i find it helps to start a fresh new document and use the default format for original versions of the file. Then i might maybe create copies in other formats for other people to use but at the moment i am beginning to find an increasing number of people seem increasingly happy with ODF. A lot of people seem to open an old document and then use that to create new documents but that way tons of hidden formatting codes and stuff seem to lurk and sometimes do some really odd things. I once found a document that seemed to have traces indicating it had started as a Word Perfect document and at some point been through Apple systems and Word. Copy&Pasting as unformatted text into a fresh new document got rid of all sorts of weird problems. Writer doesn't seem to generate lists in the way described, at least not for me. Calc does, of course, but i usually have to select 3-4 cells and then drag. So i am not sure what is going on.
