I rarely use presentation documents, but, I will see if I can create an example of the failure and file a bug unless someone else can do this. Also interested in the numbering/bullet issue that you mentioned. If you have a simple example of both documents, can you just email me a copy. Worst case, I can host them... I have not yet figured out filing bugs in LO, but, I expect it will not be a problem to do. On 09/11/2011 12:32 PM, Spencer Graves wrote: > Hi, Andrew: > > > Thanks for asking.
