quite busy with styles, but some things are realy weird : again i have defined a custom textstyle say HA_adres. I created a paragraph and assigned it this style ( all via openoffice ). When i check the style of the paragraph ( via perl and getParagraph + textStyle ) , it says it is HA_5f_adres, which is ok. If i change something in the paragraph (openoffice ), say the font of a part of the text, and then check the paragraph style again, it became an automatic style, say P1, although openoffice says the paragraph is still HA_adres. Is there a reason for this ? jef
