       If you merely copy & paste over the initial file, then the messed-up
formatting may still exist;
            in order to be sure of eliminating whatever might be causing
the 'kink', the document needs to be fresh  ;-)

       I learned this when that silly .rtf was around ... I had a great
letter ready to print out then mail off;
            I printed the first one to re-edit for any typos I might have
missed to discover that intermingled among the text was all this
gobbledegook  ;-)
       After trying 3 times, I switched to notepad; this cleared the
formatting ... then I placed the text around the images in OO [yes, it was
a while back  ;-) ]
           and it printed out as it appeared on the monitor  :-)

You think it is "simpler" to start a separate piece of software, copy and
paste some text out of one program into the other, and copy and paste it
back again, than just copy-and-pasting it back over itself in the original
document?  Pardon me, but Ho, ho!

You are very welcome to do this, of course.  (I was evidently more right
than I knew when I added "perhaps for other readers' benefit"!)
