OpenOffice.org Margins?
I am moving some documents from M$ Word to my home computer that uses Debian Linux. The document in question was saved in the RTF format from Word and then re-opened in OOo Writer. The issue with the document is margin-spacing. I wish to have a document-wide left and right margin of one (1) inch. Selecting All (ctrl-A) and then adjusting the margins does not move the margins to a document-wide setting. I suspect this is because in Word, the document had many Section Break, Next Page-marks thus causing many different margin settings to exist. This should be easy to correct, now that I know the probable cause. Without starting a flame-war, I would like to know a good editor for long text-based documents. I have a set of documents that I am, as mentioned, transferring from M$ Word to an open standard (corporate bylaws, corporate minutes, etc.) that only need basic formatting (bold, underline, heading, etc.) for text files. -- Comments are appreciated, Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Debian 2.2 Installation
Installation and beginning configuration of a Debian 2.2 system has been eluding me for several days now. I am running on an Intel Celeron 300A system with a RIVA TNT2 Ultra, a SoundBlaster Live card, an HP 7200 CD-burner and a Memorex CD-202E. I'm having trouble configuring X-windows and sound. I am a current Mandrake user who also finds the more competant package management under GNU-Debian Linux quite seductive. From the information I've read, the RPM system that Mandrake subscribes to pales in comparison to the power of Debian package management. Updating your entire system at once sounds like a dream. (Similar to the Microsoft Windows Update which is a nightmare!) Do instructions regarding the installation and configuration of Debian that are more detailed than the ones at www.debian.org exist? I find myself repeatedly asking, Why can't Debian programmers use a more 'friendly' installer such as Mandrake uses?.
