Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Using Ubuntu = 8.04; OOo = 1:2.4.1

The "newline" command is supposed to start a new line in your equation. Sometimes it doesn't work

If "newline" is preceded or followed by some characters (as +, -, =, which are often needed), some error marks "¿" are obtained, and perhaps only a single line if displayed (it depends on the character and its relative position to "newline"). Examples :

a+b_ij = newline = c+d # single line; error mark
a+b_ij newline = c+d # two lines; missing "="; error mark
a+b_ij newline + c+d # correct behaviour !! The "+" sign does fine after newline...
a+b_ij + newline c+d # ... but not before: single line, error mark here
a+b_ij = newline c+d # single line, error mark. The "=" sign does bad whether after or before newline

Hope this helps to catch the bug.
