Re: [libreoffice-users] Comparison issue

Hi.
Check the inheritance of the styles, possibly something different is 
inherited in the new document. Also the next style set for paragraphs 
and page breaks.
I have been caught out by inheriting the default page/paragraph styles

As a work around, create a new blank document by saving as (new name) a 
current document, selecting all and deleting to be left with a blank page.

One thing to watch is that when you copy and paste from/into other 
documents you copy/update styles unless you paste as unformatted text. I 
have set up a hotkey (ctl+k) so copy past becomes automatic as ctl+c, 
ctl+k. I got caught out selectively converting a docx manual to odt and 
found I had dozens of new styles to clean up.
