I've used swriter for years, and never use the default page border format except for quick notes to myself and as a scratch pad to copy from and paste to another document or application. For things that others will see, I have created blank templates for the various documents I produce, eg. letters, documents, pleadings and envelopes, that I can open with as few keystrokes as the default page. I can customize them any way I find useful, and it is not hard to do. Bet students could easily do this, and enjoy taking control of their lives. My templates generally have a "first page" with a header, and a "default" second page with a footer containing a page number.
Haven't thought about text boxes, Is it something different from "frames?" good luck, Carl --- On Wed, 2/3/10, Paula Cline <[email protected]> wrote: From: Paula Cline <[email protected]> Subject: [discuss] Question/Suggested addition To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, February 3, 2010, 10:08 AM Dear OpenOffice, This question is in regards to text boxes in OpenOffice Writer. I was looking for a way to insert a text box, without going to the Drawing toolbar. The drawing toolbar is not visible on our student's computer in the library lab. Therefore, they search for it under "Insert", which would be a logical place to find this option. However, I do not see it listed there. Possible feature to be added in the future? Also, most documents assigned at the high school level (and possibly college) require 1" margins. Why are the defaults all set at .79? Another possible future change? Looking forward to any new editions! Sincerely yours, Paula Cline Library Media Specialist Genoa Area High School 2980 N. Genoa-Clay Center Rd.
