Not an SC problem by the looks of it... I just tried using OO.o to modify a 
few things and then to export as XHTML... All I succeeded in doing was losing 
all (and I mean ALL) existing CSS info. Instead, the page ended up with a set 
of styles which are not in the SC CSS anywhere. Small wonder it doesn't 
render correctly.

If someone somewhere can show me how to import the style settings from the SC 
stylesheets, then perhaps it might work. But for now, it's back to Quanta 
Plus for editing and maintenance (I'll still use OO.o for "quick 'n' dirty 
creation. I'll still need to use Quanta and run HTML Tidy over it though...).
