I experienced the same with my old .doc files. At first I struggled to 
get things as I want hem. Nowadays I do not even start this struggle. 
When a document must be edited thoroughly, I put the original text into 
a new empty document with control-shift-v (without any formatting) and 
do all formatting again. This is less frustrating. When I need to save 
as a MS format I do this, but never lose the original .odt format. I now 
never even edit the .doc files I made this way myself, but use the .odt 
document for all editing.

Regards,

Erik Jan.
