Re: [libreoffice-users] head format does not change

Hi :)
Wow!  Lol  [blushes and looks at feet]  I had no idea about all that!  If i think of it as being a 
bit like Css formatting then it might be easier for me to understand.  

In the menu it's listed as using a keyboard short-cut
Ctrl M
but someone wrote to me off-list to say that didn't seem to fix their formatting problem.  I've 
suggested pasting the text into a text-editor and then re-copy&paste into LibreOffice because 
that's been my method until recently.  I guess if Ctrl M didn't work then it might be conditional 
formatting?

Anyway, thanks so far and regards from
Tom :)
