What you need is a table, with two columns and many rows.  You may
want the table to have no borders.

I trust this helps.

Thanks Brian.  I had that as a backup play.

But I definitely remember using a two column format method.  At the end
of each section I put in some kind of (section?) break that, if I
remember correctly, extended across the two columns.  It ended up being
like I had a series of short two column pages stacked on top of each
other.

Well, I'm tempted offer "your own" solution. You seem to be using the 
right words:


"Insert | section", specify two columns. Enter material in col 1, insert 
a column break and do column 2.


Put cursor /after/ that section, and repeat as many times as you want.

Seems to do more or less what you ask.

Two columns with a section split for each item across the two 
columns so that words can be added in each section and the section 
lengthened with out distorting the rest of the document.


For example:

Voice   Visual

Blah blah blah blah description of wonderful

(some kind of section break ->

[Anthony Chilco]

Hi Helen,
You can copy and paste to and from a google spreadsheet, but the results are 
not what you'd expect. Text works both ways OK. It seems that there's no way to 
copy an area and get the formulae to paste int OOo. What you get is much the 
same as 'paste values'. 

What you can do is use 'File / Download' to get a local copy in excel or OOo 
format.

I would say to create the table and fill in all the details,
then, take a screenshot of it and insert that into the
document and anchor it where you want it with the text
flowing around it.  A kludge, but it should work.
Good luck!

By default, yes - but that can easily be modified.

(Er, would that be "3"?!)  I think tables behave like text, so other 
text precedes or follows them, with the results that you see.

You can avoid all your problems, I think, by putting your tables in 
frames.  Frames can be manipulated in the ways that you need, 
specifically with other text wrapping around them - and indeed in 
variety of ways.  The frame need have no border and need have no 
spacing from the contained table, so it can be totally invisible in 
the final result.  And to answer the point in your subject: you can 
drag the completed table-within-frame around the page easily as you need.


Oh, and that empty paragraph below a table: go to Format | 
Frame/Object... | Type | Size | Height (or right-click | Frame... | 
Type | Size | Height) and remove the tick from AutoSize.  Now you can 
reduce the frame height to cover this.


I trust this helps.

[users] Re: No AUDIO or VIDEO

[Bruce_Martin]

Dear Andy:

1)Download the PowerPoint (.PPT)
2)Right click on it, and choose "open with"
3)Follow the menus to open it with Oo Impress.
4)Then save the file as an .ODP for use with Open office.
5)This may contain embedded vectorial or executable content. 
Occasionally this content is misinterpreted when converted. If this 
shows as an issue, get back to me on the list. The file will then have 
to be opened with Power Point, taken apart and the pieces saved 
independently, then reconstructed in a combination of Oo Draw, Audacity, 
UPlayer and Oo impress finally.


If there is video content, you can set that up in Windows media player 
if you are on a Windows platform.


If you are running Linux (such as Fedora) you could look for Videolan or 
Cinelerra. Videolan is likely enough. Cinelerra is very high end and I 
have note seen a downloadable compiled RPM for it. It had to be compiled 
before installation and use by the end users.

 I'm not sure what you want to do. The table created using your
fields (columns) has a specific order that you should not change.
However, you can create a form for the fields of this table. Later you
can the move the fields around in the form to wherever you want them to
be by editing the form. You should also change the order the Tab orders
using the Activation Tool. (See Getting Started with Base chapter in the
Getting Started Guide available on the web.)
