Ah, Steve wrote "I originally wrote using MS Word" so I guess that you imported in OOo your original MS Word document. By doing so, you imported styles that you created in MS Word and automated MS Word styles in OOo. These styles are working differently, I'm really not surprised of your messy results! Like in LyX, if you really want to import a text from another tool, it is better to simply import the text and to manually create or use OOo styles. There is even an "overcharged styles suppressor" (éradicateur de surcharges in french) to help you, you may find it at http://www.indesko.com/telechargements/eradicateur_de_surch While I REALLY enjoy LyX for a lot of works, I find OOo quite useful too and very stable. I prefer OOWriter to MS Word for it's strong styles behavior and because OOo is Open ;-) ! Don't call OOo crap, learn to use it correctly like you once learned me to use LyX more efficiently in http://www.troubleshooters.com/lpm/200210/200210.htm.
