I copy some answers I read in the Users Group e mails to an Open

really be reduced to about half length of what it is if I could make
the text go right across the page instead of staying the line length
as it was in the e mail. If I highlighted the text Is there
something magic hidden in Open Office that I could use to make the
text full line length. I know I can do it a line at a time but that
is time consuming.
o Go to Tools | AutoCorrect... | Options.
o Ensure that "Combine single line paragraphs if length greater than
50%" is ticked.
o (If desired, select that line and click Edit... to change the 50% value.)
o Select the material that you wish to compress.
o In the Apply Style box in the Formatting toolbar, ensure that
Default is displayed (indicating that the material has the Default
paragraph style).
o Go to Format | AutoFormat > | Apply.
I trust this is sufficiently "magic"!
