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)?
Yes, a number of the formatting styles were lost. When I saved a warning came up and said that something would not be saved, I disregarded and saved. (Forget exactly what the message was.)
I know this warning. I save as MS-doc regularly.
I had an under border on the header, lost; an over border on the footer lost.Did a test just now.
Also the new para style I created was no longer available after saving. However, the second document was still in the format I set it at but could not find what it was. Also, again the para styles was not in the STYLES para menu.
Borders disapear when saving as MS-doc (OOo 1.1.2, WinXP)
The created style and its properties however, are OK ....
Also when opening again in OOo after editing in Word2003 (performing a nice crash for me ;-)
Kind regards, Cor
