Re: [libreoffice-users] Duplication/replacement of text attributes

       One of the reasons I first download OO - now LO - was due to the
ease of copying in the .txt documents;
          [well, the Impress program impressed me over MSFT's poor one]

       Has this changed? ... if I were to determine how to update from .4
to .5, would I too have the problems which are noted below  ;-(
