Tom, On my list of writing projects (the ones I want to do) is a guide to producing newsletters using LibreOffice. If you can send me (offlist) an example of your company's newsletter, I would be delighted to offer some specific suggestions. Working with you on this will probably give me lots of topics to write about. Also, is there a Word template for the newsletter? Sometimes converting a Word template into an OpenDocument template makes a good starting point, though for things with complex layouts the conversion may cause more trouble than it's worth. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
