Somehow I was expecting a document-wide property. I believe Shlomi is interested here in the HTML produced from the document. Such methods produce ugly HTML: each paragraph has its oown specific "visual" formatting. Very unlike the spirit of HTML. Not to mention that the HTML gets inflated. And you get a property-wide base direction of LTR that is overriden on each paragraph. Take a look at the bullets, where it accidentally wasn't overriden. In other words: All that is needed is a way to tell OpenOffice to change the BODY tag a bit. Not to further inflate the produced html. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
