Fwd: Publisher Templates?
Scribus may not be suitable if you are outputting to an ink-jet printer. -Original Message- From: James Knott To: users@openoffice.apache.org Sent: Thu, 9 Jan 2014 21:55 Subject: Re: Publisher Templates?

It seems like I could set up templates in OO (if possible). That's what she uses the most. So my question is: Has anyone developed templates for (for example) greeting cards, business cards, etc? Can you share your templates with us? For that sort of use, you might want to consider Scribus. www.scribus.net - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

In this simple case of a CV, the document can be sent in PDF using the existing function of OO to create PDF files. If a editable version is requested, the recipient will be able to see an odt file if and odf-compliant software is used, such as the latest versions of m$office; there is a comparison of differences between formats.

Re: Publisher Templates?
Thanks for the tips. I've decided to go with OO templates. She doesn't need to do desktop publishing, per se. She has very simple requirements. -- ashelt...@gmail.com sites.google.com/site/ashelton3 > On Jan 10, 2014, at 2:15 AM, uga...@talktalk.net wrote: > > > Scribus may not be suitable if you are outputting to an ink-jet printer. > > > > > -Original Message- > From: James Knott > To: users@openoffice.apache.org > Sent: Thu, 9 Jan 2014 21:55 > Subject: Re: Publisher Templates? > > > Austin Shelton wrote: >> A friend of mine is considering switching from her Windows computer to a > Macintosh.

Re: Publisher Templates?
Yes, this is quite possible. However, it is not recommended. Scribus does not handle RGB output profiles, and cannot colour manage the workflow. -a -Original Message- From: Rory O'Farrell To: users@openoffice.apache.org CC: uga...@talktalk.net Sent: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 14:45 Subject: Re: Publisher Templates?

See: > https://www.mail-archive.com/users@global.libreoffice.org/msg35626.html When dealing with organizations which I know or suspect use word, I make it a habit of prefixing the mail with something like: The attached doc is in open document format (odt), a world standard for word-processing documents. If you have trouble opening it, please let me know. Newer versions of microsoft word automatically deal with it, but older versions can be updated to allow reading current versions of their own (microsoft) documents as well as world standard documents. But as you point out, a pdf gets around that. If it has to be editable, there is a free add-on for older ms-word which allows reading odt, so even people using old versions of word should be able to read an odt. It's the same add-on that allows reading .docx stuff, I believe. Thank you, all the countries in Europe which forced that issue.
