Hi :) Yeh, i got that and it was interesting to see Stuart's response. I was wondering if there are 2 distinct patterns; 1 for what happens when you use 4.4.0 to edit old documents created with earlier versions of LibreOffice or other programs/suites and the other pattern for new documents.
There was something a few weeks ago about a Table-of-Content or Index (or something) behaving differently in fresh new documents. In older documents the behaviour carried on even if the older document was opened in 4.4.0. A tad confusing but quite pleasing to note that documents remained consistent regardless of what opened them.
