Re: [libreoffice-users] problems with "update style" on some headers

Hi :)
Is the document in Odt format or is it a DocX or Doc?  Odt tends to behave better.  

I've had similar problems when pasting things from Word documents and the things you have already 
tried are usually more than enough to fix it.  Another thing i tried was to "copy" the heading from 
LO but then re-paste it a few lines later using 

Shift Ctrl v

to paste as unformatted text, again, and then applied the heading style to it.  That's usually 
fixed the most awkward ones.  Then just deleted the previous version of the heading along with a 
few lines before and after.  

Regards from
Tom :)
