If you don't explicitly need that format, you'd be better off with .odt, .doc, or even exporting to PDF if the recipients don't need edit capability.

[users] line spacing and other positioning aids
I need to build a template with which I will merge form data. This is for a OCR form so positioning the data is critical. Last time I did this, 10 years ago, I was using WordPerfect that permitted me to set line spacing by 0.01 % of the base amount and to [advance to x.xx] horizontal spacing in .01 inches. Perusing the style options, I can't find any way of positioning fields with anything close to this precision. I presume I am looking in the wrong places (F11- styles). I would appreciate any guidance and/or links to articles on this. bill - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Sorry, I was not clear. I already found the "Line Spacing" box. I set it to zero, but the line spacing is still between 1.5 and double spacing. That is, I am using a font set at 12 points, but with the Line Spacing box set to zero the leading is about 19-20 points or so, Where I come from zero means zero. Evidently in OOo's mathematics it is somewhat more. I was hoping to find another setting someplace where you can tell OOo that when you enter zero you really mean zero.

Re: [users] Line spacing changed on .odg files with upgrade to 2.2?
The following is from the OpenOffice Help file; it should solve your problem. Printing Register-true Register-true Register-true is a typography term that is used in printing. This term refers to the congruent imprint of the lines within a type area on the front and the back side of book pages, newspaper pages and magazine pages. The register-true feature make these pages easier to read by preventing gray shadows from shining through between the lines of text. The register-true term also refers to lines in adjacent text columns that are of the same height. When you define a paragraph, Paragraph Style, or a Page Style as register-true, the base lines of the affected characters are aligned to a vertical page grid, regardless of font size or of the presence of graphics. If you want, you can specify the setting for this grid as a Page Style property. Setting a document to register-true printing Select the whole document. Choose Format - Page - Page. Select the Register-true checkbox. All the paragraphs in the document will be printed register-true, unless otherwise specified. Exempting paragraphs from register-true printing Do one of the following: Select all the paragraphs you want to exempt, then choose Format - Paragraph - Indents & Spacing. Open the Styles and Formatting window, click the Paragraph Style you want to exempt, right-click that style, choose Modify. In the dialog, click the Indents & Spacing tab. Clear the Register-true checkbox. Related Topics Register-true CPHennessy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: On Wednesday 13 June 2007, + J.
