I had never heard of the paste special feature, so I just tried it. I
started with an .rtf file that LO didn't like. I selected the entire file
with Ctrl-A, copied it (Ctrl-C) and then pasted it special back onto itself
as unformatted text. It worked just as well as copying to a text editor.
This may not be much help, but when I have been faced with a converted file
that was such a formatting mess, I would just save it as a plain text file
and format from scratch, creating and applying the specific Styles I wanted.

For any document that I think I may need well into the future, I have
learned to save a copy in plain ASCII text. Yes, I lose all my formatting,
but I at least have a version of the text itself that can be read by any
word processor or text editor. It's at least better than pen and paper.

I have never been satisfied with OO and LibO's treatment of outline
numbering. I like to control all formatting with Styles, but when it comes
to outline numbering, I can't do that. For outline numbered paragraphs, even
paragraph indents and margins are controlled by Tools/Outline Numbering
styles. I just find it easier and cleaner.
