I write book-length texts using styles and it emerges in full book layout, needing only final proofing and very minor tweaking before going to print. Since switching to Star/OpenOffice in 2007 I have prepared many booklength texts directly in OO, without need to use my previous setup of MS Word (or NotePad) and PageMaker (later InDesign). I have never regretted the transition or the learning curve involved. -- Rory O'Farrell ofarr...@iol.ie - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
