Description

There appears to be a bug or feature in OpenOffice which affects how haedings are stored as XML. It appears that if a virgin document is opened then all headings are stored in <text:h> tags, but if an existing document is opened that lacks a particular haeding style, then if you create that heading style it is stored in <text:p> tags.

This causes Forrest to mis-interpret headings, as the Forrest OOo XSL file identifies OOo headings by looking for the <text:h> tags.
