I think what he is probably looking for is what OpenOffice.org calls a
text *frame*. I sent him a note about this offlist, referencing where
that info is located.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I really enjoy the features and benefits in Open Office. I have used
WordPerfect in the past and liked many of its features. In particular
the
ability to insert text boxes in the program were very helpful for some of
our business literature. How can I insert a text box in Open Office? I
have tried several approaches and used the help function but nothing
seems
to work for text boxes.
Hi Allen
You've sent your email to the documentation mailing list - a list that
is used for discussing the development of OpenOffice.org documentation.
For general user help, you are best to email the User Mailing list (see
http://support.openoffice.org/ for information on the mailing list and
other support options) or post to the User Forum at
http://user.services.openoffice.org/
To answer your question, you can insert a text box in Writer by using
the Text button on the Drawing toolbar. If the Drawing toolbar is not
visible, you can turn it on by clicking: View > Toolbars > Drawing
Click the T button on the toolbar, drag the box to the size you want and
enter your text.

border).
