I am finding it nearly impossible to set margins at a default value.
By this, I mean I want to set the margins thus: left: 1"; right:
0.75"; top 1"; bottom: 1". I know how to reset the margins but I
don't want to have to reset the margins EVERY time I use Writer. In
the other Word Processing programs, there is a button that allows you
to set the margins for "this page" or as a default value for "all
pages", if you get what I mean...
Apart from that, I love the program and keep up the good work!
Please read about Templates in the help and/or on-line documentation. You
can create and save a template with the page characteristics you like. You
can either set that template as the default or give it a name and then
request it via File>New>Templates and Documents when you want to create a
new document. For example I have a template in which the first page is set
up as a DL (European standard business size) envelope, the next page has my
name and address centred in a bold font with *today's* date automatically
generated and the subsequent page(s) just blank. The envelope is landscape
to suit my printer's special envelope handling facility and has my name and
address in a tiny font top left and a Text Box for the addressee's details
which I copy/paste from the letter. That's just to illustrate the power of
OO's template scheme.
