Answer 1

this program is a piece of shlt! You have to navigate yourself amidst a torrent of functions in order to do a basic function such as create a check box.

Believe me, Microsoft Office is so much better than this travesty of a program, delete the shltty software and spend your money on MS Office--something that actually is simple and has more functions than the p***y program that is OpenOffice

Answer 2

It happens in MS Word too, if I'm right there will be a little box on the down-right corner, click it and you'll see some options (can't remember which) and choose the "Only keep text" (or something).

I haven't used Open Office, but it should work

Answer 3

I am using Open Office and did a copy and paste many many times with Open Office Writer. Never had any problems.

Try to copy with  Ctrl V      --     Ctrl C

Perhaps it works better that way.
