I am using a scanner and OOo to resurrect some old documents. It took me awhile to figure out how to do what I wanted the output to look like. From this experience I look at the ?? test, words, data?? in this manner.
Go to FORMAT > Character > Font make my selection >Position select Position and Spacing then to Paragraph finally to Page.
I donot know if this is a good method but it worked. What I am trying to say is that there should be some mention of the Character selection and that spacing has something to do with Kerning (I think). Just mentioning Paragraph and Page leaves out a lot.
I'm not sure I understand what you are suggesting -- that I cover character formatting in the chapter on formatting pages? (Character formatting is intended to be covered in the chapter on working with text, and is listed in the outline for that chapter.)
To me, formatting pages (or "page layout") has to do with the placement of blocks of text, graphics, etc on a page at a macro level (margins, columns, etc). My mention of paragraph styles in that context is because you can do some macro placement (indentation, for example) that way. But character formatting is a micro level thing, normally done within a paragraph and thus not part of page layout as such.
Or perhaps I've misunderstood your point completely?
Cheers, Jean
