Hi,
I love OO but I've hit a wall with an issue I'm having with a particular document.
I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing but I've searched all over and not found a clue.

The document is just several pages of text, many paragraphs, no images or anything fancy going on.
When I select any part of it, say the first line, and change the Style for it... say to Heading 1... the style of ALL the content changes to Heading 1.

For a moment I thought there might be some sort of grouping feature for text that I had turned on, but no.

I tried selecting everything and doing Format>Default, but that didn't help.

I opened a different file and tried changing the Style of a line there and it worked normally... so it's some setting peculiar to the one document.

Like I said, I figure it's something simple but I can't figure it.
Thanks for any suggestions,
K

May be just one paragraph. Turn on View > Nonprinting characters and see if you have pilcrows (backwards P) ending the paragraphs or right angled arrows. If the latter then you have line breaks instead of paragraph breaks.
