To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, May 28, 2008, 10:59 AM I recently purchase a new computer from a local retailer. The problem that I am about to discuss with you could not be rectified by the retailer, so I am contacting you. Here goes....................I am creating a resume. Centered across the top I have several short lines with my name, address and phone number. Now I WISH to have the remainder of the resume's information contained in 2 columns, left and right, while keeping the above mentioned centered on top of the page. A few items centered on the top with remaining in 2 columnsbeneath. HOW to I complete this task? I have tried everything I can think of to no avail. The "specialist" at the retailer is unable to this, what seems to be a simple action. I used to work with Microsoft Word on my previous computer and quite frankly see little difference between what I had and what I have now. I am IGNORANT to some degree with computers, for which I sincerely apologize. My Open Office. org is the 2.4 version. After centering the information as needed on the top of the page, and then attempting to make 2 columns beneath, the information jumps into the column area. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I honestly hope you can tell me how I am to be able to complete this task. I apologize for bothering you and greatly appreciate your time and consideration with this matter. Respectfully submitted, Ron Dixon
Ron,For your information, there are many forums to which you can apply for assistance in using OOo (OpenOffice.org). This mailing list being the one normally considered to be the "official" support contact. Those of us with a keen interest in OOo, contribute to some of those forums and monitor others. We are volunteers and most of us have full time work/lives to lead, leaving little time to spend contributing to the wider OOo project.
The garbled content of the message you posted to this list, indicates that you copied and pasted the message originally sent to the "Tutorials For OpenOffice" contact address. As the administrator of the unofficial "Tutorials For OpenOffice" project, I took time out to provide you with a very detailed, illustrated answer to your question, together with an example document.
Therefor, I would respectfully request that, if you have an OOo question, you select one forum in which to ask it. Be a little patient and if you do not receive a reply with a "reasonable" time, or receive an unsatisfactory answer, try asking in another forum.
Since you are not subscribed to this mailing list, I am including a copy of a reply to your question from another subscriber, Jonathon Coombes who also administers an unofficial project in support of OOo.
Dave <Q> Hi Ron,I think what you may be looking for is a section or frame. Simply add a section when you want to have 2 columns and choose the columns tab and select 2 columns (or more if needed) and then you should be right.
