I recommend that you go to our forum (using whichever national language version is most suitable) at http://forum.openoffice.org/ and post a series of your questions: the forums prefer if only one question is posted to each thread, as this keeps the conversation focused on the specifics of that problem.. I think that all the points you raise can be dealt with within the existing facilities of OpenOffice; you might find it useful to read the existing documentation on OpenOffice's components, linked off http://www.openoffice.org/documentation/ (in bottom left quarter of screen) I can immediately answer your last point about a page 8.5 inches high by 14 inches wide: use menu option /Format /Page : Page tab, drop the selector under Paper Format : Format to Legal. You should see the dimensions change to 6.5" and 14" (or metric equivalents) and then select the Landscape checkbox. -- Rory O'Farrell <ofarr...@iol.ie> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
