Karl:

Thank you for the additional options. I figured there would be other solutions which is why I threw in the YMMV. :)

Why? 1. Lame, but, Perl practice. 2. Somewhere in the mass of posts that I read it was recommended to use Open Office to retain document formatting, so I went and figured out how to make that work and wanted to document a solution rather than repeat the general hints found in the posts. 3. Still pretty new to linux. 4. Retired and doing this for fun. No time constraints.

There's never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
