------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Apr 30 16:17:49 -0700 2005 ------- PRELIMINARIES ONLY, BUT IMPORTANT Although I have been using OOo (and formerly SO5.2) for over 3 years I still have to stick to the Windows doc format because I work with a huge number of short documents received from here and there and partly created by myself and I share documents with several others who use MS or QuarkXpress or InDesign, neither of which (or at least the versions in use) understands the OOo formats. THE PROBLEM I try to use my own template as much as I can but my files still get fat with an enormous number of custom styles which probably come from external sources. Among them such beauties like WW-AbsatzStandardSchriftart etc. Often these terrible things intervene into my actually used styles and then ruin is added to chaos. Each and every of them has a name which starts with WW (i.e. 2 capital Ws). Hints of WinWord? I can delete these styles one by one but, unfortunately, loading my own ones does not delete them. However, when I delete the unwanted styles, save the document again in doc format and then I reopen it - the deleted styles reappear again. CONCLUSION Which means that something is still preserved deep in the stomach of OOo and it is reinjected into the file upon save is the saving format is doc. It does not happen if it is rtf or sxw. This holds true of OOo1.1.4 and OOo2 (1.9.95) on a Windows XP Home system. SUGGESTION Please check with the document attached. Open it on a machine with a Windows operating system, delete the WW- and Absatz styles by hand and save the document in its own format (doc). Then reopen it, please, and check what styles you have. Paragraph styles, character styles, numbering styles. Unfortunately there is no option to attach the document. I will try to submit this and reopen perhaps then I see a possibility to attach a doc. If you will not find it (file name: B-0501-BKV-hajozas.doc) please send me a note how to attach. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
