P.S. what FOSS did you have in mind for form layout?

One more thing, and I should have said it before, why use a word processor to write html when 
there are better FOSS programs available ?

I wanted to use the wysiwyg facilities of LibreOffice - whetjher I
"should" use a different FOSS or not is irrelevent, these are straight
forward things that are supposed to work in LibreOffice surely that is
what is important here for beta reports?

With that knid of approach Oracle or some other corporation will just
waltz opver LO.

I have had this experience - isn't that what matters?

Not questioning me about why use LO to do something that it should do?

You yourself asked me to save in .odt format or was that a different Andy?

I am really worried that the whole culture of this kind of project is
too inbred.
There is no feeling that the Users' problems or experiences actually
really matter.

I have had at least five significant problems - and this is what I get
- "use some other FOSS"

Where is that going to get things?

Issues covered include:

1. disappearing toolbars
2. Document view changing from that expected when coming in and out of
HTML view
3. Loss of web content when switching from HTML view
4. Empty spans instead of label text
5. .odt not being available as a Save As option when working on a
Writer/Web document

I am looking at OOo 3.2 and do not see any Web tools at all in either the
HTML or Writer mode.

Not sure as I do not have a problem saving as an html document.  I do like
the option to "save as all formats", which your screen shot does not show.
 Are you using Beta2?

Looking at LibreOffice side by side with OOo Writer here, they are the same
with no missing items.  What is missing on yours is the Language indicator
so that may be a local issue.  Not sure where to look.

Same in OOo 3.2.  Not sure this is a bug as the purpose is different, as is
with Writer and Calc.  You can not see a 'Save as' ODS option in Writer.



Paul

You seem to indicate that you were able to do these things in OOo, correct?

One more thing, and I should have said it before, why use a word processor
to write html when there are better FOSS programs available ?
