But you see, when I write a document I do not want to bother with fine setting every page. I just want to use a predefined style (or create my own), chose the type of paragraph from a list, and let the program bother about producing good output without bothering me.
Now and then, I might want to fine tune the results - but what I do, usually, is adjust the style definition, not even the document.
There are uses for desktop publishing programs, but I haven't found them; scribus is probably a good program - but not for me, that is.

Then it sounds as if you are a perfect candidate for Scribus! Make yourself a template or use one someone else has contributed. Set & use styles to suit yourself and then all you have to do is drop the text on the page! I've used both extensively and let me assure you, I can layout a page in Scribus much faster than I can in OO or some other word processing program. And envelopes! Oh boy, I like Scribus for that! Now I can produce a letter or pure text document quicker in OO. ;o) Lee -- --- KMail v1.6.1 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.0 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...
