In Open Office 3.0, is there a way to divide my page into quarters, a grid

horizontal (especially) and vertical (nice but not necessary) folds will

Thanks!
Did you go to the menu --> "Format" --> "Page".
When the Page Style: Default window opens, go to Columns Index and
change Columns to "2".
Then broaden the Spacing as far as you feel necessary to get the center
wide enough.
You can probably save this as a template for later use.
When you draw a line across the middle to mark the center fold, you can
"select" the line and
it will show middle-to-top and middle-to-bottom page rulers on the
side. This will help to center
the line more exactly.
Another way to find the exact center would be to draw two lines
_diagonally _across the page
and where they cross will be the exact center and then you can move the
horizontal line to the
intersection of those two lines.
Hope this helps!
Good luck!
