Sorry, I do not think such an option exists. You could file a request
for enhancement.
But I still have to stand by what I wrote earlier. I have written a 25
page document using a notebook with a touchpad. I did not have any
problems staying out of the header or footer area. I wrote another
document with 35 pages on this notebook without that problem also. Both
documents required a liberal use of the touchpad to move frames from one
place to another. These two documents are "Getting Started with Impress"
and Getting Started with Base", and they are two chapters of the Getting
Started Guide available at http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/.
Perhaps, I had an advantage. Its screen resolution was only 800x600.
Another option is to use the notebook keyboard more: specifically the
arrow, page up, and page down keys. I also used Control +X followed by
Control+V to move objects. The Navigator will also allow you to move from
one place in the document to another without worrying about placing the
cursor in the wrong place. (This does require that the Navigator be dock
on the left side of the screen.)
