Hi Doug, I made some of Your proposed tests here - although everything works fine with the file on the installation at G. Roderick Singleton's.
1. On the page some strings are in a table, some are in paragraphs below it - without table 2. Tried saving in sxw and odt, no change in appearance Searching of strings works, although the "marking" color is not the usual one - since the letters are superposed. I can change letter type, alignment, line spacing, without change respecting the superposing of the letters. Looked into some of the the XML file(s) of the sxw version. Everything readable. But since i don't know the meaning of the parameters in the xml tags (specially in the "style" tag) i cannot identify the problem like this at first glance. Thanks anyway, It is not urgent anymore, but maybe the solution would help prevent someone else's problem.
