Re: [libreoffice-users] Default Superscript and Subscript size

Hi :)
Given the answers in the thread at AOO i suspect it is a bug.  

Here is a guide to help post a bug-report.  Don't take it all too seriously.  They ask for a lot 
but if it's not easy to give all that straight away just post anyway.  Later on you can add 
comments so you can get all the required information together in the report in a few posts at your 
own pace.  It might be that they are able to help without even having all the info straight away 
anyway.  
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport


If this list does solve the problem you can always close the report and let people know how and 
that might help those people over at AOO too.  

Just out of curiosity do you have any of the general information, such as username and stuff 
'filled in'?  There was something that only worked if you had at least 1 or 2 characters, even 
empty spaces in there.  Aaargh, i'm at a Windows machine that doesn't have LibreOffice or even 
OpenOffice, yet.  I might have to make sure i get the portable version worked out in case i'm ever 
here again!
Apols and regards from 
Tom :)
