1- We have translated a book into Farsi and wanted to use the same lay

do not own. So we imported a PDF version into Open Office and eliminated
the text. so we have all picture and lay out as it was in the original.
The problem is that the file is now as Open Office- Draw and when we put
one Text Box, the complete text goes out of the box and the page and it
is nor possible to send the rest of the text in to the next text box on
the next page. (It is possible to link frames in an Open Office Text
Document, but it is not possible to have a text FRAME in a DRAW DOCUMENT.
*Do you now anyway to manage it?
* Export all of the images in the PDF to PNG;
* Export all of the text in the PDF to plain text;
* Import the text into a _new_ OOo document;
* Fix up all of the textual errors that are in the document;
* Use stylist, and convert all of the text to the appropriate style;
* Starting at the beginning for the document, add the images at the
appropriate location;
* Go through the document, and fix all of the frames for images, so that
they are where they were in the PDF;
* Go through the document, and fix all the errors you missed the last
time through;
* Get somebody else to compare the ODF with the PDF, to ensure that the
two documents are identical in appearance;
Yes, you will be recreating the book more or less from scratch. But
that is the only way to do it, if you want the ODF to be identical to
the PDF.
2- When we write a document and insert the page number, *It inserts Latin numbers and not Farsi/ Arabic fonts. How is possible to change it
into farsi?
>Tools >Options >Language Settings >Complex Text Layout.
For General Options, select "Context".
Alternatively, for each page style that is used:
>Stylist >Page Style >(Select page style) >Page >Layout Setting.
This is a drop down box. Farsi numerals _should_ be listed there.
Alternatively:
* Click on where the page number should appear in the header, or footer;
* Delete whatever is there;
* Mouse click on >Insert >Field >Other >Page
* Make sure that "Page numbers" is highlighted in the second column;
* In the third column, select "native numbering".
That should do it.
If it doesn't, then scroll down a little bit further to where Farsi
numbers are displayed, and select that instead.
Note: You'll have to repeat this for each page style your document uses.
