Hi! I'm preparing a master document which will eventually go to a .pdf
file for publication. I need crop marks to print on each page as I
produce the pages from the .pdf file to send to the printer. I can't
find any reference to crop marks in the Help file. Can you tell me if
it is possible to print crop marks and how I would go about it?
Many thanks for your help

It's not clear to me why you need crop marks. If you tell OpenOffice
what size pages you want your document will be automatically paginated
properly. Then just export it as PDF (File>Export as PDF) and all should
be sweetness and light. To set the page size go to Format>Page>Page and
set the relevant options. The Help also has a lot of information about
things you can do with page formats - numbering, backgrounds,
orientation etc. etc.
If you really want crop marks you could put them in the page footer. For
details of inserting and formatting footers, please see the Help under
Footers.
If it's going to a printer for publication, the crop marks may be used
when trimming the paper and also for verifying colour alignment, when
printing.
