I'd forgotten you can do that. It took some finding because export as 
HTML doesn't seem to be in the menu, and the toolbar icon looks like 
'reload' rather than 'export'. However it has solved my immediate 
problem, thank you very much.

It's a bit of a clunky work around, though. I'm not sure how to raise a 
bug report, but it seems to have been a problem for a long time so I'd 
be surprised if nobody's reported it already.

Thanks again.
