It might be helpful if you could recreate this problem. What
formating changes did you make and in what order? What version of OOo
are you using? Do you have the original MS doc that you could import
again to possibly recreate the problem?
The answer could well if the doc were unzipped and the extracted
files examined, but I have no experience in understanding what is
contained in them.
