Tell me more about the problem, eh? 1> Is the string, in fact, in a table, or was that just a hunch? 2> Have you tried saving the file as an oo file and reloading that file? 3> Once you have the oo file, you can search through it and look for your strings: --If this and this and this are superimposed --over that, that, that, and that: Then you can open the oofile (which is handily in xml) and search for the sentence and see what's wrong with it. 4> In your 'original' file, try various operations that b-doink with the lines (Like double spacing the entire document.) I saw another post about superimposing characters...
