Ah - OK - I'll try ...

If I select the "print to file option" I have only the postscript option, and then I have exactly

In addition: the Page numbers are omitted in the ps2txt step - strange but true.

I can convert the resulting .ps file to a .odt or equivalent via abiword, as mentioned above.

Thanks for your help,
