[snip]What you want is a paragraph that has the first line normal and the rest indented. You can tell OOo to do this without using tabs or lists.
The styles are saved in the document.Learn to use styles when creating documents in OOo. It's a lot easier than formatting everything manually.
Tony --
I did this, it worked great on my second document. I even highlighted all para and F11, then double clicked on ActorsLines, fantastic.
Went to the first one document that I had done with TABS to change it. Could not find the ActorsLines styles, yes, Para was highlighted. Went back to the second, it was available F11.
If you work with templates, the styles are available in all docs from that template.
You can copy the style from doc1 to doc2: Format|Styles|Load.
Saved both, as I thought that the STYLE might not be available until it was saved with the document creating document and that the next document had to be opened when available.
To my chagrin, no STYLE in either of the document, and other formating was lost.
I think that what happened is this, part of the documents were scanned, saved as MS.doc, worked on as .doc then saved as doc. as need to pass such a file onto someone else. Were most of the formatting rules lost? If so I guess I have to save in OOo format. If not why and how do I overcome?
This kind of formatting is not affected by saving as MS-doc.
Are you sure your formatting is gone?
Have you tried if the "Paragraph Styles" button is pressed (as Tony pointed out)?
Hope this helps, Kind regards, Cor
