Sebastian, it looks like you used the first copy of the HowTo I sent to you. That copy was flawed because Open Office had enabled by default a "feature" that shifted any text to the left if followed by a space or a tab therefore making double hyphens appear as a long single hyphen. Hence, a second amended copy of the HowTo was sent out on the following day to all those, including you, who had initially requested one, including a brief explanation.  In the second copy the hyphens are easily recognised. . The command to shut down evolution should read "evolution --force-shutdown. The HowTo, as I sent it, works very well. If you would like another copy just yell (18.6KB pdf). For those who come across this "feature" in Writer and have no use for it, you can turn it off by going into Tools, Autocorrect, Options tab and remove the two ticks next to "replace dashes". Cheers, Andre
