Hi folks. I have never used the Draw module. So I wanted to draw about 3 boxes.
Man, I can't get off the ground. I looked at the help, but it apparently
assumes you have some basic knowkedge to start with (which I don't). I thought
if I clicked on a box down on the bottom and then clicked in the layout I would
get a box. I don't. So, I am totally lost. Anyone want to give me a quick basic
run through (or a pointer to a place other that OOo help)?

Click the Box icon. Then, in the drawing area press and *hold* the left
mouse button while you drag the box to the right size. Once you release
the left mouse button the box will stay put and will have green
"handles". You can move the box by dragging it or resize it by dragging
one of those handles. Right click inside the box to change its
properties - fill colour, border style, etc. etc.
A good place to start reading might be

Click the "Drawings ..." link.
There are also many tutorials, as others have pointed out.
