If getting things like spacing, bulleted paragraphs and picture captions right isn't reasonably obvious to a fairly experienced (but admittedly not expert) user, then that says something about the UI, doesn't it? I realize some of my problems are due to my not understanding various processes, but then again, I've been using OOWriter & OOCalc for many years, and have been able to write and correctly format 98% of my novel in it. I can't believe how much time I am spending on OOWriter instead of my novel. Luckily I saved the document before trying this, so I'm not in trouble.

It's my guess it lost that temporary document somehow. I think some of them are due to it trying to recover the temporary file that is created while working on an OOWriter document.

I have a screenshot of the PDF Export Settings plus 6 screenshots of the various error messages that were displayed during the recovery process. I tried to FILE | EXPORT AS PDF my novel, and twice OOWriter has crashed.
