Sounds like a bug report would be in order. I've noticed similar problems, but only in some files. I've not kept notes in which files and circumstances, though I should have. I keep intending to check whether the problems occur on Windows and Linux as well as my Mac, but haven't got around to it. I've also been seeing some strange problems related to styles. Marc Pare from Marketing and I were talking about this recently. No, I don't have the energy right now to summarise what's occurred. --Jean -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
