Doug,
I used to use WordPerfect [first the Novel product, and then the
Corel, after they'd obtained it], so I am aware of the type of feature
you are referring to, though I cannot find it in LO, at all.
As to your second suggestion, I own two scanners, but neither will
do anything at all connected to my Ubuntu Gnu/Linux Box (I guess I'm
just lucky that way) need a good list somewhere - like the open printing
list that indicates which are excellent, good, fair, and useless in the
scanner world. Seems these two I have are - so far as Linux is
concerned, just good as door-stops.
Thank you so much for your helpful comments.

Hello,
Seems I've found a new & especially annoying problem.
A document I've had on disk for several years & have printed
without problems before, has now come to the point where some
paragraphs do not print at all - although they appear on-screen OK &
I can find no formatting or other setting difference between the text
which prints & that which does not, except that one does & the other
does not print.
I really do not wish to have to completely re-enter the
entire document, all over again (& hope that whatever caused the
non-print problem does not occur again, anyway).
Does any one have any thoughts as to a possible cause -- I
will investigate all angles I'm able to do.
Thanks for your assistance.

Two thoughts: I think LO has some feature that lets you see hidden
features, like carriage returns, new paragraph
indicators, etc. I haven't used the feature, but I believe it's
there--like in WordPerfect. If so, turn it on, and look for
something strange around the paragraphs that don't print.
Second: If you have any printed copy (from back when it worked) scan
it in and use OCR to translate it back to
text. Then--you'll have to proof-read it, of course--enter it into
some word processor and print it from there.
Clumsy, but much better than typeing the whole thing over.
