In 2.4.0 RC1 no error is reported when opening the file. The bullets are gone but all four lines are visible. In Writer, you can add the bullets back, save it, and open it in kword with the bullets visible. But any edit and save in kword causes the bullets to disappear in OOo again. Is there a link to a kword bug report explaining why those developers think this is an OOo bug? -- Tim Richardson tim@tim-richardson.net +31 610 899 815 The Netherlands
