Hi :) Thanks Dan, Brian and Regina :) Yes, the header and footer have the charity/company banners top&bottom. Logos and bits&bobs sometimes go outside the curved space but really only on the first page. I've only shown 2 of the middle 12 pages but the rest are identical once i've added the header&footer to all.
Could the frame have the same rounded corners as the drawing element? Could i replace the frame&drawing element with something else that would work? Brian thanks for signposting me to page 122 of the Writers Guide to link the frames. That makes a big difference. Now the only problem is trying to fit the text inside the curve. Dan thanks for the idea about using paragraph styles but i think that is going to be about the same as i do now. At the moment i use Shift Enter to get a new-line that is still part of the same paragraph and then i just use a lot of space-bar at the start and end of the line to move the fully-justified text into the curve! Thanks so far and regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Regina Henschel <rb.hensc...@t-online.de> >To: Tom <tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk> >Sent: Wednesday, 13 March 2013, 21:28 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Text-boxes.
