HI,
I HAVE BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER TO USE FOR WORKING FROM HOME. I HAVE DOWNLOADED "OPEN OFFICE 2.3" ALL SEEMS FINE. THE PROBLEM IS I USE THE COMPUTER MORE AS A TYPE WRITER AND WHEN I TYPE OUT A QUOTATION AND NUMBER LINES 1) TO ANYTHING WHEN I PRESS ENTER TO GO TO THE NEXT LINE, THE COMPUTER GIVES THE NEXT NUMBER AND MOVES EVERYTHING TO THE RIGHT. I DO NOT WANT MY NEXT NUMBERED SENTENCE MOVED AWAY FROM THE LEFT SIDE MARGIN AND I WOULD LIKE TO DO MY OWN NUMBERING.
HOW DO I SET THE THING UP SO THAT IT JUST DOES WHAT I WOULD LIKE IT TO DO. I
FEEL LIKE PUTTING MY FIST THROUGH THE THING WHEN THIS HAPPENS.
PLEASE HELP OR IS THIS HOW THINGS ARE WITH COMPUTERS. I AM 55 AND KNOW NOTHING ABOUT
SETTING THE THING UP. GOING TO "HELP" IS AS MUCH GOOD AS STANDING IN FRONT OF A
RUNAWAY BUS.
REGARDS,
FRANK.
After the computer moves everything to the right,
select FORMAT from the main menu,
then Bullets and Numbering,
in the resulting dialog box click the POSITION tab,
then adjust the amount of indent.
I think you'll be surprised and pleased at the format control that
OpenOffice.org affords you.
By the way, the grey shading around the line numbering will not print.
Please, post your results back here.
HTH,
Alex
