Hi folks,

I ma quite new to OO. I have some documents created in Microsoft word and I am opening them in OO but I cannot keep the formatting I had set in Word. Is there a work around?

Formatting will change between differing applications and computers, also because of differing fonts. One should use the one application and computer for detailed formatting.

See [Tutorial] Differences between Writer and MS Word files for the reasons why and for why you should always work in and save files as .odt.
