The problem must have arisen after I tried to copy an article that I had downloaded to Lucide. I highlighted the article in Lucide and pressed copy and then tried to paste it in oo3.1.1 but had all sorts of problems with paragraphs not being fully pasted whereas I could paste them in IBM Works. It was after this that I had problems opening a saved MS-Word doc. One problem I do still have is that if I use the scroll button the scroll slider keeps going to the bottom even though I take my finger off the scroll button. The only way I can move the page to the position required is to use the slider instead of the lower scroll button. It's most annoying.
