If you merely copy & paste over the initial file, then the messed-up
formatting may still exist;
in order to be sure of eliminating whatever might be causing
the 'kink', the document needs to be fresh ;-)
I learned this when that silly .rtf was around ... I had a great
letter ready to print out then mail off;
I printed the first one to re-edit for any typos I might have
missed to discover that intermingled among the text was all this
gobbledegook ;-)
After trying 3 times, I switched to notepad; this cleared the
formatting ... then I placed the text around the images in OO [yes, it was
a while back ;-) ]
and it printed out as it appeared on the monitor :-)
