[...] > cheers, > dwain > x[DELETED ATTACHMENT force paragraph test.odt, Open Doc] I set the reply to the libreoffice users list, as the developers list wasn't the proper one. I looked inside your document, and it appears that the first paragraph is inside a list, with the paragraph as its only list item. And it is a list with no bullet and no number. I have no idea how you got this. But that's why it behaves differently. So I clicked in that paragraph, and then clicked on the "Toggle Bulleted List" Icon. Then a bullet appears, which you obviously don't want. So click on this icon again to remove the bullet. After this the paragraph behaves normally. By the way, I didn't see any "block 0.5" style in the document. All the paragraphs had "Default Style". -- Piet van Oostrum <p...@vanoostrum.org> WWW: http://pietvanoostrum.com/ PGP key: [8DAE142BE17999C4] -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] FODT Write Error. The file could not be written.
For a start, there are XML errors in your document: Line 122: style:contextual-spacing is not an allowed attribute. Line 133: style:family="4.1354inn" is wrong. It seems the style:family is mixed up with some measurement. Line 153: There is a secondelement. There should be only one of these. Line 162: The element must not be empty.
