Thanks for this info Don -- I'll save this message too as I have not yet determined where I will take the document for printing. I might try Staples first but may also contact some relatives who have published family books which is the intent here. As time goes on I'm sure I'll learn a lot more about LO from this list.

As for document formats, I would think that ODT is a "better" format, but you can also save as a regular Microsoft Word document (should you need to), or export to PDF format. I self-published my book using LO (years ago) and exported to PDF to publish it on Lulu.com. I am 99.99% certain that, while it might take a little bit of adjustment, you will find switching to LO a super nice adjustment to make. :-) Regards, Don -- D.C.
