As Cor pointed out (in rather harsh way, if you ask me), probably you did not read documentation carefully enough. Styles are hierarchical (in web-world it's called "cascade"). You may open new document in Writer, press F11 and set "Hierarchical" from drop-down list at the bottom of new window. You will see that all styles in entire document are child of "Default" style. In other words, changes made in Default style will be present in all other styles. Changes in that style should be keep to minimum - ideally, you should change only font family and size there. You should *not* apply Default style directly to any paragraph. For your main text you should use "Text body" style. Although I find behavior of your LO rather odd, I would recommend you to use "Text body" as default style for paragraphs in your document. This is what you should do in the first place. Hopefully it will solve your problem as well. BTW, I have never encountered a problem like this in any LO or OOo version, so it is possible that these packages you did install are simply broken. You should try to rename your ~/.libreoffice (and ~/.openoffice!) as well, as Tom advises. -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
