Just to confirm my experience (in version 4.1.2 under Windows):

I created a new text document with new character, paragraph, and 
page styles and saved it as .odt. I even closed OpenOffice. Now I 
reopened the document, selected all, and copied and pasted into a 
new document. The new document showed all three custom styles. (A 
manual page break was not carried over, which confused the issue 
slightly, but the styles were all there.)


there must be some special condition differing between your and my 
setup. I may try to replicate your experiment exactly but not right 
this moment; maybe tomorrow.


I did repeat my experiment:
(a) open new document (OpenOffice 4.1.1 under Linux (Debian));
(b) check default style and applied style: just says 'default' and 
no 'applied styles'
(c) take heavily formatted document and copy and paste a bit from it 
into the 'virgin' document.
(d) check default style and applied style: same as in (b); plus 
immediately obvious since the formatted document has 1.5 line 
spacing while 'virgin' is single-spaced.


there are differences between your experiment and mine; wouldn't 
have thought they'd make a difference ...


You talk of "default" style without saying whether you are talking of 
page, paragraph, or character styles. It seems that the default 
paragraph style in particular is protected and not overwritten when 
material is copied in. But the process works perfectly well, it 
seems, with styles being automatically imported, if you use *custom* 
styles instead of modifying Default.

of course, is the version of OO.)

Correct. What I wrote refers to the release packages. The development 
builds use the "archived" format and do not contain RPMs or DEBs.


Still, if you download the file above properly (like, with wget) you get 
the compressed 163M file. If you see the uncompressed (390M) tar 
version, then your user agent / browser is getting in the way by 
uncompressing the file on the fly. The file is correctly compressed on 
the server.

  Andrea.

Denke, du meinst 1 1/2 (1,5 zeilig)?

Eine direkte Antwort erspar ich mir und verweise auf die Hilfe. Suche
einfach nach Zeilenabstand. Da wirst Du geholfen.

No, they are .tar.gz ; but most browsers will uncompress .tar.gz files on the 
fly and thus you'll see the already extracted .tar file.



 
https://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/install/linux64/Apache_OpenOffice_4.2.0_Linux_x86-64_install-arc_en-US_2016-08-09_04:31:06_174.tar.gz


If you download it properly (with wget, say) you get a file with md5sum 
a655f761ddb45a0e544faf4889c2ec5c which is a compressed gzip file as expected.



 A compressed .tar.gz reduced the download size considerably for the users
 who'd like to try out the nightly build.


It wouldn't anyway. The tar, in turn, contains already compressed data (.deb 
and .rpm are compressed). So gzipping is just to obey conventions - but we do 
it anyway.




Thanks Andrea for the reply.

The nightly build i downloaded is

https://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/install/linux64/Apache_OpenOffice_4.2.0_Linux_x86-64_install-arc_en-US_2016-08-09_04:31:06_174.tar.gz


There are *no* .deb or .rpm files in the archive.

i have renamed the nightly build tar file that i downloaded
to aoo20160809043106.tar

The resultant compressed file is half the size of the original 
file.


Please see below.

$ ls
aoo20160809043106.tar
$ file aoo20160809043106.tar
aoo20160809043106.tar: POSIX tar archive (GNU)
$ ls -ltr aoo20160809043106.tar
-rw-r--r-- 1 saifi saifi 395407360 Aug 21 16:52 
aoo20160809043106.tar

$ gzip aoo20160809043106.tar
$ ls -l
total 159948
-rw-r--r-- 1 saifi saifi 163781320 Aug 21 16:52 
aoo20160809043106.tar.gz

$




 The last nightly build available for download is annotated is 2016-08-09.
 However, today's build should be annotated as 2016-08-20.
 Is the page at https://ci.apache.org/projects/openoffice/index.html
 auto-generated along with the nightly build ?


It is. But it is updated only when a build is successful, and the build is 
currently broken. See

https://ci.apache.org/builders/openoffice-linux64-nightly/
We've updated some dependencies and we need software updates on the build 
machines. Builds will be "green" again once those systems receive the needed 
updates (hopefully in a few days).


Regards,
  Andrea.



Thanks for the assistance.


warm regards
Saifi.

It's not hard to get an answer at all, it's only hard to get the answer 
you want.



  I
went to the forums but it doesn't give you a complete answer it just
recycles you around very confusing thank you for your help


As most of the answers are given by the same users as on the forum, you 
probably get the same answer.


You can clear the Recent Documents list (all 10)  from the same menu, 
but it will add new ones when you
open other documents. The simplest solution is to read the two top rows 
and ignore the rest.


Have fun.
