Any one know, off hand, where the documentation is for

I have been using Page Maker for a while and want to do the work with OOo.
The trouble is the dividing articles up to flow over several pages
automatically
during the editing process.
i.e.
main article on left column of page one, where the over flow or most of
the text
is on page 3 right hand column. Think of a newspaper where the article
continues
on page such and such. Now add the fact that as you do some editing and
text formatting,
the text will need to flow to the next part of the article without
manual cut/paste.
All you will need to do is somehow select the bottom of the first part
and then link it
to the top of the second part on page 3.
I do not believe you can create this type of automatic text flow with OO. At least I have never
found it. This is why I am painfully and laboriously trying to teach myself how to use Scribus as
this will do the job easily, once I learn how to do it from memory. ;-)
So any help with where it is in the documentation and how to do the job
as well?
If you still wish to use Open Office you may find the below site helpful.

Since I do some collaboration type of work with some newsletters, It
will be much easier
to pass a OOo document back and forth, than passing text back and forth
and a PDF file
sample of what it looks like in Page Maker. Having every one buy a
version of Page Maker,
now called Indesign (I think), can be expensive for the convenience. So
if we can use OOo
for our Newsletter and desktop publishing collaboration needs, the better.
Scribus is free so no problem there.
Hopefully this is of some help.
