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!
Tom
Hi Helen,
You can also go to Tools-Options-Writer-View and turn on horizontal and
vertical rulers. There is also a Grid option, but I'm not sure how
helpful that would be - seems to depend on fixed spacing.
I'm using OOo3.2 on ubuntu, but I believe these options have been
present for a long time.
Regards
Russell
