Sure John,

The old version was the 1.3.3.something one. Now it's 1.4.2.

When I import, I open a text frame and right-click on it, choosing "load 
text". Then I choose the text file (odt), and check none of the check 
boxes offered (hoping it will simply import the text).

In the past, it simply imported the text and created its own paragraph 
styles like P1 through P6 which could be changed to my own ones on the 
list without any hassle. Now it will still change to my own ones, but on 
some parts of the texts, or for whole texts, the font chosen does not 
change but rests on the font chosen automatically, even the font size 
remains.

So in the list, it says "Title big centered" for instance, and it is 
centered, but it is not e. g. "Syntax" but "Liberation serif" and 
(sometimes) not 24 pt but only 16 pt.

But sometimes it simply does what it's meant to do.

So, I think this is a feature rather than a bug, but I don't see where 
the beast decides what to do - and how I can make sure it does what I 
want it to do ;-)

Thanks

Rolf
