Not certain but you might have a look at the newsletter template ( http://documentation.openoffice.org/Samples_Templates/User/template/newsletter_2.stw ) for ideas and use it as a base for your own template. You can get more info on using frames from http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/ in particular the user guide has a pretty good section on newsletters. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
