well what i am trying to do is copy a file, but insert certain things in it.
So the original file is like a template. But it has different font sizes
and some is bold/italic/underlined. if i just insert the text it will just
be default size with no attributes. I want to know how to get the
attributes to stay.
so say I am scanning a line of text, and the text is font size 14 and
bold/underlined how would i keep those attributes to paste in the new file
I hope this is a bit more clear so you can help me, or point me in a certain
direction.
Thanks,
Justin Fox

No, it won't.
It might surprise you, but there is no such thing as a markup tag in
OpenOffice in the sense you are asking about. If you do what Dan suggested,
then you will see that that is the case. If you have not defined the bold
style yourself, then OOo will generate one with its own unique name, and at
the point in the text which is made bold, it will stop inserting text in
one
style, and start insertion using a different style which will define the
characters as bold. And the same with any other combination of font
attributes, including language, font name etc.
I suspect this is not very helpful to you, and it might be better to ask
what
you are trying to achieve.
