Writer is not a DPT program: it is based on content flow, not on page layout like, for example, scribus. Bot nothing prevent you from copy/paste that "unit of content" you want to repeat several times, separating each one with a page break. You can even automate those page breaks: it is really easy to associate a page break with a particular paragraph style so you can set the first paragraph of the "block" to automatically insert a page break before it. With Writer you can also think of keeping a one page document and pick you data from a database... but that's another question ;) For any problem with Writer or any other component, you can use our community forums: http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/index.php Regards
