Thank you both for the pointers.
Harold, I did what you said: Clicked in big box in upper left, clicked in
the layout, held down left button while getting(drawing) a small box (dashed
lines), and released the button. ??? Small dashed line box disappered???
Any ideas??

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
<http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual>
Click the "Drawings ..." link.
There are also many tutorials, as others have pointed out.
