Lines of text are squashed up, and in some cases overwrite each other. Comparing that output with the same pages printed in KWord is like comparing camembert and sh**. The only problem there is that duplexing is not working properly - but I think I've had it working before, so I'll play with that one.
I do think KWord and OOWriter or StarWriter have different strengths, so I'd like to get this sorted. Anne
