saving certain pages to a document
greets! I suspect it's not possible without attempting a macro but: is it possible to save say pages 10 to 20 of a document to a file? I know one can export selected pages to a pdf but I'd like to 'export' selected pages to odt or, preferably, to doc. basically 'save as' but get to choose the pages. f. -- Felmon Davis Reporter: "How did you like school when you were growing up, Yogi?"

Research for School
Hello, My name is Yvonne Simmons and I am doing some research on word processors for school and I was wondering if you could help me out? Would you be willing to give me three similarities and three differences between your program and Microsoft Word I would highly appreciate it. Thank You for your help.

While it's nice that you are here and willing to interact with the Apache Open Office users community as a learning exercise, it's not so nice to ask for others just to reply to your assignment questions ;). In other words, you should be able to figure differences by yourself just by reading the Wikipedia entry for each program (eg: Wordperfect, Apache Open Office Writer, and Microsoft Word). And even better, if you took the time to install each program and test it on your own. I will give you some clues, which will surely help you get started: 1. Apache Open Office is available in a version for the Linux operating system in addition to Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Microsoft Word does not have a Linux version. 2. Cost: Microsoft Word is not free, Apache Open Office is... 3. Think about the source code, and if modifications to the program are alllowed on each word processor. Oh, gotcha, I almost filled all 3. ;-) Of course, if you start using each you will also notice other differences with regards to the user interface. Good luck. ;-) FC Buenos Aires, Argentina. -- During times of Universal Deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act Durante épocas de Engaño Universal, decir la verdad se convierte en un Acto Revolucionario - George Orwell - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org

Perhaps Yvonne doesn't own MS Word and does not want to spend the money to buy it simply to write a short paper for school. OTOH, she may be forced to buy it to satisfy her instructor. Perhaps the instructor requires all papers to be submitted in .docx format. I don't believe Open Office can write docx format output. If docx format is required, SoftMakerOffice's word processor can do it and there is a free version for non-commercial use. It doesn't have all the bells and whistes of the paid version, which is in the $80 range. I don't have any financial or other interest in Softmaker. Goog luck, Yvonne! - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
