--- Comment #5 from Bob <amacrest at gmu.edu> ---
Notes on .odt file.
I am trying to implement the common research paper format of two column text
with a synopsis at the top. Note that the synopsis section (done by placing
paragraph inside the first-page header) correctly flows the last line.  The
remainder of the paper is an outline.
The only way I could find to implement paragraphs in an outline section
(without creating a new outline section number) is to use shift-enter.  However
this is not recognized as a paragraph.  Note the end of the first paragraph in
the 2nd column of page 1.  The last line is Justified even though "Last line"
is set to Start.
Note the one-line header titles on outline sections 3, 4, or 6.  It doesn't see
these as the end of a paragraph either.  This renders Justified useless in an
outline.  I either have to give up Justified, or give up outlines, to get the
text to flow in a reasonable way.  Thinking about it now, I have not tested
this outside of multi-column format, so I suppose that could be the possible
culprit.

>From a design philosophy point of view, the thing to keep in mind is that a
paragraph is a visual indication, not a logical one.  The dictionary I have at
hand says that a paragraph is, "...indicated by a new line, indentation, or
numbering."  Note that the definition says, "new line" and not "newline," the
point being that it is a visual indication.  I don't see LibreOffice honoring
this.
Thanks for all that you do!
