Did you paste into a fresh box, or a box which had a broken document in it that you deleted? If it was the latter, there may have been invisible broken remnants left behind.

I copied into a fresh box. But I did it in open office. The last chance would be to have someone who has notepad (I use linux) put it in a blank txt there and see what happens.....

It doesn't count as clearing formatting if you copied directly from OpenOffice to the LW post box. Copy from OpenOffice into a text editor, and from the text editor to LW. (And yes, you do have a text editor, it's just not called Notepad. Look around until you find it, whatever it's called.)

If you have gedit (GNOME's text editor) or gVim installed those should work just as well.
