Hi atdsm, mru, and everyone else :)... 

Thanks for taking a look at the problem. atdsm, I tried your suggestion man
(exactly step by step), but it didn't quite work for me. I hope that we are
trying to do the same thing. So I attached a couple of files.

On my "resume" (2 pages) - I would just like to note that I had problems with
the "top" of page 2 only. The rest of the columns in my resume was perfectly
fine. I used the columns for the "Company name" and "Date division" FYI. 

So if it was really an attribute not getting carried over, shouldn't the other
columns have been affected as well? It just looks to be location dependent in
the document.

The sample docs I attached have 6 and 7 pages.

I attached 2 files:
1) "OOo_column_problem.odt" - ODT file with my initial problem written in it.
2) "OOo_column_problem_solution.odt" - ODT file with atdsm's suggestion.

Save both files into .doc format (97/.../XP) and re-open them. The first .doc
should give you "good" columns on pages 1, 5, and 7 while the columns on the
other pages are bad. Some pages are empty btw. On page 7, I inserted a little
period like I did in my resume to make it to work. Before I did that, page 7 got
messed up as well.

The second .doc unfortunately doesn't give me the results either. atdsm said it
worked for him, so I am guessing there is something I didn't do properly. If you
look at the attributes of the columns before converting, the "Evenly Distribute
contents to all columns" is UNCHECKED - as atdsm wanted.

Also when you open a ".DOC" file in OOo Writer, and check that that "evenly
distribute" attribute, it seems to be "checked" for the columns that are "ok".

Thanks guys. Appreciate the comments.
