That has happened to me too before when doing nested lists. OOo by default won't create a multiple liste entry of b), and often data copied to the clipboard loses its program specific formatting because OLE isn't perfect, so it may indent by default. I don't know how I made it happen, but it happened to me a while ago. I found that the way around this is to actualy cut the line, then erase the placeholder and paste in the data somewhere else... A bit contrived, but it works fo rme. Rigel

Create an outline in Writer 1.9.87 using the outline feature that looks like this (which outline style you pick doesn't matter). 1. First line of outline a) line 1 level 2 b) line 2 level 2 Now copy the "b)" line to the clipboard. Don't copy the "b)" itself, just the line beginning with "line 2". Paste into notepad. Do you get "a) line 2 level 2" instead of just "line 2 level 2"? I want to make sure I'm not going crazy. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------- Post your free ad now!
