You can place a frame on a page (even a full page) and insert text into that frame. This can then be moved as a unit. However OpenOffice Writer is not really a frame based editor (i.e. it is not a FrameMaker replcemnt). If I were working on a page oriented document, I would be tempted to use Impress; one can resize the slide to a paper size and work on a page by page basis; the text formatting facilities are not as powerful as in Writer, but for many purposes they might be satisfactory. > > On 8/2/2015 3:39 PM, Rory O'Farrell wrote: > > On Sun, 02 Aug 2015 14:55:54 -0500 > > CMLDMB <[email protected]> wrote: > > > >> Dear list members, > >> > >> I was wondering if you could move pages from location A to location D > >> without "copy/paste"?
