openoffice question

[Madison Kelly]

Hi all,

   I take my work notes using openoffice, and I use a point form style. 
At the end of the month, I need to copy and paste these notes into a web 
  form which only supports plain text. All this is fine, except for one 
annoying little time waster...

   OO automatically creates bullets for me when I start a line with a 
hyphen. This looks great in OO and makes my notes very easy to read 
(content aside). However, when I copy/paste the hyphen-style bullets are 
lost in the plain text (same if I paste into an editor like kate). This 
means I have to go back and manually enter the dash before each 
sentence, which is quite the waste of time.

   Does anyone know of a way that I could copy the bullets as hyphens 
and pasting from OO to a plain text medium?

   Thanks!

Madi

PS - Saving as text or RTF doesn't help...
