If I put several lines into an #+BEGIN_ODT..#+END_ODT block, all whitespace 
formating is lost.  A list like

- List one
- List two
- List three 

becomes

- List one - List two - List three

This is why I started puting the formatting on each line, and rather than 
type all of the <text:p... on every line, i created a macro.  Ill just stick
with that i guess... still better than using a word processer ;-) 

Thanks
