Hi :) Wow! Lol [blushes and looks at feet] I had no idea about all that! If i think of it as being a bit like Css formatting then it might be easier for me to understand.
In the menu it's listed as using a keyboard short-cut Ctrl M but someone wrote to me off-list to say that didn't seem to fix their formatting problem. I've suggested pasting the text into a text-editor and then re-copy&paste into LibreOffice because that's been my method until recently. I guess if Ctrl M didn't work then it might be conditional formatting? Anyway, thanks so far and regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Gabriel Risterucci <[email protected]> >To: Tom Davies <[email protected]> >Cc: Fernand Vanrie <[email protected]>; "[email protected]" ><[email protected]> >Sent: Monday, 18 February 2013, 12:09 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] head format does not change > >2013/2/18 Tom Davies <[email protected]> > >> Hi :) >> Please can you elaborate a bit on that?
