Any one know, off hand, where the documentation is for
creating newsletter pages is?
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 really do not remember how to do this, since I use Page Maker for
the newsletters.
Used it for 10 years(?) or so and never really went to OOo for that
task. I am so
use to that software, but have not upgraded beyond version 7, I think
maybe it is time
to start using OpenOffice.org for that task.
So any help with where it is in the documentation and how to do the
job as well?
yes, press F1 for Help, then enter "newspaper" or such.
It's called "linked frames".

Excellent.
I learned something new today. I had searched for this previously without
success.
Linking Text Frames
You can link Writer text frames so that their contents automatically flow from
one frame to another.
1.Click the edge of a frame that you want to link. Selection handles appear on
the edges of the frame.
2.On the Frame Bar, click the Link Frames icon .
3.Click the frame that you want to link to.
