I wonder if this would be better directed to users(a)openoffice. That sounds very odd behaviour. First, try 'paste special' and see if explicitly pasting as unformatted text makes a difference. Otherwise, absent other ideas, try moving your private OOo config area to one side and then starting OOo. If that makes no difference, completely remove and reinstall OOo. -- Permission for this mail to be processed by any third party in connection with marketing or advertising purposes is hereby explicitly denied. http://www.scottsonline.org.uk lists incoming sites blocked because of spam mike(a)scottsonline.org.uk Mike Scott, Harlow, Essex, England --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org

I've used it 3 or 4 times and it always seems to place the text where its supposed to be. Problem apparently solved. Thanks for your help.
