Thanks for the answer Andy.
Wouldn't you know it, it still doesn't work well. There are just too
many fields to fill and to watch out for the spaces, and so, you
constantly miss one! Doh! I found a workaround that works, although
not
as elegant. I loaded the file in as .doc and exported as .pdf. I then
reloaded as a .pdf in OpenOffice and then I could fill in the fields
with the tools for OpenOffice hybrid-odt file. It is a little more
time
consuming but works. Apparently, the next version of OpenOffice (or
LibreOffice) should have this fixed.
Nope. I just tried in LO3.3(Beta):
LibreOffice 3.3.0
OOO330m7 (Build:9526)
libreoffice-build 3.2.99.0
and
OOo-dev 3.3.0
OOO330m8 (Build:9527)
And they both have the problem. Note that LO3.3 is m7 - perhaps I can
test with standard OOo m7 later today.
Figured it out:
1. Open the doc& select Format|Sections.
2. For each section (1, 2& 3) check the box: Editable in read-only
document. Click OK.
You can then continue to fill out the form.

Thanks I'll give it a try. The closing date is Oct. 1st (post marked).
If it doesn't work, it looks like I will have to use an MSbox to fill
it! Yikes!

It works! However, I have found:
- I had to save the document right after changed the settings in the
Format->Sections "Editable in read-only" document. Click OK.
- the format was not the same as the original .pdf version. So I went
back to the Format->Sections and unchecked the "Protected" box
- it was impossible to fix the format that this file had. Just too many
fields!
- I filled in the fields and some of the fields came out in bold and
others were not in bold. I could not see the logic for this, unless
OpenOffice (Libre Office) was reading it wrong (BTW -- I went back to
the OpenOffice version as I found it too "beta" still and I am using the
suite quite a bit.
- the headers and footers are a mess -- it was a simple setup in
MSOffice but OpenOffice treated many sections as if they were different
styles and even then it was still messy
I think, the OAC should have picked the .odt or .pdf format to leave on
the site rather the .doc . I will still leave them a note about this.
Thanks for the help anyway. If only we could all follow document standards!
