Add automatically paragraph tag - Page 2

BR -- I didn't want to suggest that because I don't know what differences there might be between the DOCX that LO creates vs, the one MSWord creates, and what calibre is looking for. Perhaps it is high time someone made a definitive test.

@eschwartz - I have imported dozens of EUC DOCX's that I am pretty sure come from Writer with no problems or glitches, also I think Kovids test DOCX was created with Writer.

Doing "a definitive test" sounds like a 'make-work job for life' racket to me, maybe the EUC could fund with tax payers money - or DARPA

Just did some very unsystematic tests on getting a document from OO to EPUB. There seem to be two choices of plugin, plus the route via Calibre.

I took a document - book style, no graphics - that arrived with me as PDF. Exported to Word DOC, opened in OO, saved as OD-something-or-other. Two of the export routes (including Calibre) resulted in very messy code, each word defined as a separate span. The third gave a pretty clean result.

I'm not going to say which plugin was best, from this very limited data. Do your own research!

PDF is always the most worst format for starting

True. But, when tasked with an eBook conversion, it's the one I'm so often given!

I know, that PDF is often the one and only available resource. OCRing (Abbyy/Omnipage) is the best way to retrieve a low messy epup result.
