So to ask the first question:
Why are separate page styles not being saved?

thanks
First, what format are you saving the file as. ODT or DOC? If the later that is the problem as
OOo does not inport or export to DOC with 100% fidelity and some things get lost in the translation.
Good catch, Andy! Tim, Word (at least prior to Office 2007, and therefore in the .doc format; not
sure about the newer formats) has no concept of page styles, so that aspect of OOo can't be carried
from .odt into .doc, and therefore is not there when you reopen the file in Writer (when there is
again a conversion into .odt while Writer is working on the file). So you should stay with .odt
until you send the document off. If they accept .pdf files, that will be the most reliable way to
make sure they see what you do. Otherwise, you might want to get the free viewer from Microsoft so
you can check the .doc file, since they're so strict about the formatting.
