Not reproducible with LO 4.0.6.2 (Win7 32bit).

Please provide detailed information, what file format did you use? You could also attach sample spreadsheet file so it's easier for us to triage the problem.
Comment 2 ianpf 2013-11-13 13:55:50 UTC
I have found that if I open writer, type in a few letters such as aaaaa 
then copy it is OK with the copied file on the second page. I can then 
delete the few letters and away we go!

Thanks

Ian

Comment 10 ianpf 2013-11-14 14:33:31 UTC
The document is saved in odt
Comment 11 ianpf 2013-11-14 14:34:34 UTC
 the saved format appears to be ods
Comment 12 ign_christian 2013-11-15 09:18:00 UTC
I'm using this simple steps to reproduce:
1. Select cells A7:D28 from ODS attached & copy (ctrl-c)
2. Paste (ctrl-v) to new text document
3. Save as ODT & close
4. Reopen the ODT

Can't reproduce the issue with LO 4.0.6.2 (Win7 32bit)
Comment 13 ianpf 2013-11-16 14:18:43 UTC
I repeated these step and lo! It worked this time!
This is weird.

Repeated route of comment 12 and it is OK now!

I mark this as RESOLVED WORKSFORME
feel free to reopen if you still reproduce this issue in a consistent way
Comment 16 ianpf 2013-11-16 14:39:46 UTC
If I copy the whole spread sheet , the saved odt document is blank. If I save a part it seems to work. So the trouble remains I'm afraid.

what do you do exactly to copy the whole spreadsheet?

If I open your test .ods file in Calc then 
"Edit -> Select All"
copy with Ctrl-C
open new .odt file
paste with Ctrl-V

the table is correctly copied from the .ods to the .odt and the file is still normal after closing and reloading

odt spreadsheet

This is the spreadsheet that seems to be the trouble. I save the the data by selecting the table from bottom up with mouse. Then copy to desktop  (either crl-c or copy in Edit.) Open writer document, and paste (either ctrl-p or copy in Edit.)

Copy appears. I click in body of text (anchor disappears) and save. 
Close and reopen from desktop. Document is blank.

Same result from either copy/paste commands

I still do not reproduce it.
try resetting you user profile and see if it changes things (backup first)
