Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: some text not printing

Thank you, Virgil; I'll give those suggestions a try (& luckily, as the 
document in question is a Fraternal body's By-Laws, there are no 
foot-notes).
I'll be ery happy if either of them works -- though, of course, I'd be 
happiest to actually understand what caused the problem, to begin with. 
But, then i do realize that we all too seldom get what we want, 
especially when it would actually be good for us.
