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. ;-)
Scribus - yes I know about it, but since the documentations of Scribus is
so "not there", I wanted to do the work with OpenOffice.org. Better
learning one software package, that is free and has good documentation,
than learning multiple software package, that one or more does not have
good documentation.
So, I want to learn OOo to do the work, instead of adding Scribus to the
list of stuff to learn.
