I'm on Windows 7 and using Open Office 4.1.2. I want to make an image with text I write, a nice background, with some space the same color as the background, around the writing so it looks professional.
So far, in OO Writer, I got the background, and my text, but the text runs from margin to margin, and so does the color, but the margin areas are white. How can I get the text to be smaller than the colored area? In the end I'll want to save it as a .pdf and convert it to a .jpg or .img or copy it to Paint, for uploading to an image sharing site, that I can link to for social media. I've followed directions from: https://smallbusiness.chron.com/add-background-image-openoffice-document-63567.html I'd like to be able to use: https://smallbusiness.chron.com/add-text-over-image-openoffice-53710.html (Adjust the intensity) The steps for this are based in http://www.openoffice.org/documentation/manuals/oooauthors/Working_with_Graphics.pdf It isn't up to date or doesn't match my Apache Open Office. My arrangement for these steps is different. And the "View," "Toolbars" and "Picture" toolbar doesn't show any numbers. (Could this be because the computer is using a lot of ram for FireFox?) I'd really like to be able to lower the intensity of an image to make the text stand out more, but I need the directions to be for the Apache Open Office version that I'm using. Is there a help page that is newer, please? Thanks so much! Linda
