Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Styles Don't Retain Bold?

I think that the percentages that Mark showed are also present in 4.3.1. At
least that is my understanding. I have worked for an article to Elsevier
today and that had some problems, with headers relating to the main header
style. However, the main issue for me is that they want to have the
manuscript files as docx or doc and do not accept anything. However, as I
been an editor of an Ashgate Book Series years a go I find that somewhat
hard to understand. At my time also plain ascii was acceptable, typesetters
did not need word or any other  type of word processor file. Have times
changed? Scribus reads plain text and works better like that, so ...

Oh, well this goes to a private rant so I'll stop here.
