Hi Open Office Team,
You guys all did an AMAZING job of the Beta 2 version of Open
Office!!!
Really, seriously, AMAZING!!!
Thanks a million.
I have a suggestion/request for a feature. I would like to be able
to tile the page background to the edge of the page while keeping the
text margins in tact. As it is now, the incredibly amazing graphics
you included can only be set to the edge of the page if the text
margins are also set to the edge of the page.
While the feature isn't available yet (I know it has been requested
before), I did find a way to do it which works for docs which are small
enough to apply this trick to manually.
Create your doc without the background. Create a frame the same size as
your paper (in my case 8.5"x11"). Put the image tiles in it, specify
tile. You may want to specify a pretty high transparency percentage.
On the frame options, set Wrap to through and select the option "in
background."
You'll see your text on top of the image. Then copy the frame and
manually put it on every page (sorry I haven't figured out a macro to
add this to each page yet...).
While it isn't perfect, so far I've done about 6 of these and they have
all looked find (to me and to the people I was giving them to, anyway.)
Hope this helps.
