Tom, *, of course there are alternatives among the LaTex editors and Tex renderings, but rather than sending Paul off on a wild goose chase, better to ask him for the additional details we need triage his issue.
So, Paul--are you working natively only with ODF format in Writer .odt, and Math .odf components? Are you using a LibreOffice extension (TexMaths, or OOoLatex) to manipulate your formulas or just Math? If so, version? Are you moving document round trip (export/reopen) to OOXML? Are you making any use, by import, of Microsoft formula originated materials? Stuart TomD wrote > Hi :) > This is just in Math, nothing to do with Calc is it? > > I don't know what is causing it.
