Document printed standalone

I create a Master Document that contains the Agenda, last minutes and accounts of a council.  The individual documents (3) are created in LibreOffice Writer and display and print as expected.  When the master document prints some of the fonts and formatting is changed.  The master document facility, which should be very useful, cannot be used.
I can provide more information and examples.

Otherwise a great package - and also on Haiku!

Need to attach 2 files.  One showing the document printed by itself - all Arial font and the other printed in the master document - a mix of Arial and serif.

Note changes in font and some formatting when printed from master document.
Comment 2 m_a_riosv 2025-06-10 22:14:18 UTC
Are you paying attention to style preferences when working with the master document?

Order in which they are applied:
1- If the style already exists in the master document, then it takes precedence.
2- If the style exists in multiple documents, the style from the first document that contains it takes precedence.
3- The style from the document is applied.

Please verify if the suggestion in comment#2 applies, and here is good explanation of the concepts of master documents template/styles precedence:
