Well, an "official doc" need not be a trifold brochure, and a portrait-oriented fact sheet can look just as official and professional as any other marketing document -- or it can look like it was "thrown together really quickly" as you put it. Likewise, a brochure, however nice in appearance, may have been "thrown together really quickly" -- as, indeed, was the one I did about the community. That said, I agree that having both can be useful, assuming some one has the time, interest, and energy to do the work. BTW, my earlier comment may have left the impression that I intended to just print a web page. What I meant was to take the info on that page and create a handout. That's essentially what I did with the community brochure, but fitting the info into the space available on a trifold can be more difficult and time consuming. I was rather surprised that everything fit so well with minimal tweaking necessary for that one. --Jean -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
