Whilst that would work, it's inherently a 2-step process, versus 1 for the html route, plus it requires installing yet-another-application. In any case, the example file for the odt-converter has corrected my misunderstanding: *bold* works even for multiple words (although it appears the various style markers don't nest: */bold-italic/* give me the same as *bold*). Thanks Robert
