I've been trying to merge some big copy-paste blocks in Libreoffice; and was almost there when I noticed a subtle difference between the ~300 line function in the 'impress' (i.e. presentation) code from the other 2 (i.e. calc and writer); only impress lets you have line styles where the styles are stored , so it stores the style attributes somewhere else. That took some digging to find!(At least there's a reason there, unlike the different default line widths in the three apps)

@penguin42 Document editors have countless nuances that we just take for granted and assume work across editors.Well done solving your problem, I can only imagine how hard it is for the open / libra office team to maintain each compatibility with Microsoft's editors but fair play they do a pretty good job.

@johnmclear Oh yeh there's some crazy stuff in there for compatibility - I don't 'work' on LO, just do fixes and stuff for fun!
