Re: [libreoffice-users] Styles not working

For me on LO 4.3.7 I have literally hundreds of styles that have come 
across from word docs and are working.
When you say not working, do you mean the style is in the list but you 
can't apply it or the style is applied but doesn't look like it did in 
the word document.
Can you share a document with the styles you are talking about and 
possibly a screen snip.
You will need to reply to all to send attachments to me (the list strips 
them) or use nabble (link at bottom) to reply to list with attachments 
or drop box or similar to post attachments for download.
