openoffice writer - bug applying a style with special characters?

[Keith Stewart <ke...@graham-stewart.id.au>]

Hi All,

I've been using openoffice writer to prepare a book for publication 
using Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP).

To do so, you need to download a KDP template, which contains place 
holders for the chapters in the book.

To add a chapter, you cut your source chapter in the original document, 
then paste into the template, replacing the dummy chapter.

In my source document, I use Georgia font, and each paragraph has 1.5 
lines after it.

The book source uses garamond font, and no spacing.

To apply the requiring formatting to the chapter, I highlight 
everything, and then select the style defined in the template.

This changes the font, removes my 1.5 line spacing, as you would hope.

However, the text in my book includes several special characters, 
specifically latin extension characters, so, for example an 'e' with an 
acute, or grave, also a z with an acute.

After the formatting is complete the special characters - sometimes - 
remain in Georgia font, I have to find them manually in the text, 
highlight the character and then re-apply the style, to correct them.

Is this a known bug?

Thanks

Keith
