Re: [libreoffice-users] How to "clone" a document, including outline numbering?

Hi :)
The problem with that way is that a ton of excess coding might be saved
right along with everything else.

I suspect the o.p. is trying to clean-up a document.  Maybe not though in
which case your way is really simple and very quick.

When people send me stuff for my company's (well my boss's company)
newsletter is just paste everything in as unformatted text and then use
styles to make it fit in better.  Occasionally i go in and apply direct
formatting to make numbered lists or bullet-points look right but mostly i
don't bother and that makes the whole thing look more consistent
internally.  I jazz it up a bit with images but mostly the aim seems to be
to make it look boring. [shrugs]
Regards from
Tom :)
