I think it would be worthwhile sending an email to the developers list. Do you guys have a method to reproduce the error? I guess we would need someone who still has an old OOo version installed. I also noticed yesterday, while finishing the review of chapter 8 of the Writer guide that OOo2.4 does not seem to honour the "next style" field. I set up the "OOoList 1 start" style to be followed by "OOoList1 cont." but OOo seems to ignore this. Cheers, Michele Cheers, Michele
