Re: [libreoffice-users] Importing HTML in LO 4.2

Hi,

No, I made sure that the "HTML source" item was not selected. I've tried 
a few different files generated by different sources. Generally they 
behave as I described, although I did find one that opened correctly. I 
have no idea what the difference is between those that work and those 
that don't.

Opening them from a blank html document makes no difference. In fact the 
title bar just says LO Writer not Writer/Web.

If I start with a blank html document and use Insert-File it shows up as 
the source.

I'm using the linux version of LO. Are you using Windows or Linux?
