Take an educated guess at the number of pages, but don't worry about it too much. You can delete anything you don't need, and if you add pages, the frames will be automatically created and linked. Import your ODT file and the text will be formatted as in oowriter, styles created as needed.
That should be it other than tweaking the layout if desired. Sorry, that was 4 sentences. Greg
