Or maybe I searched on 'PDF.' I just poked around in my LO and couldn't find a button to import a PDF. But when I tried to just open a PDF it worked. I opened a simple little PDF and LO displayed it in a new document window. All the text was in text frames, one frame per line. I could put the cursor in the text, select some of it, and apply any character formatting I wanted. I could also do a Ctrl-a (select all), which selected all the frames, and then change the font to whatever I wanted. I think the reason that the text came up in one frame per line is because that is how PDFs work - text is always truncated into individual pieces. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
