new problem:
In opensuse openoffice (default margins all around, and New Times Roman 12p font) single spacing produces 51 typeable lines (no headers or footers).
in word the last two lines are bumped down one page and the first page has only 49 typeable lines.
Check under Tools – Options – Openoffice.org Writer – Compatibility There are several OO options there that may help. Some may have to be activated for each document you produce. Check also the default paragraph style. Under Position you may want to check pair kerning. This corrects the space between some pairs of characters and so often shortens lines of text slightly. You will not need this if each line in the two documents is identical. In the default page style, check that, under Page, you have not checked Register true. This is designed for double-sided printing (especially on thin paper where the lines from the obverse can show through) and adjusts the space between lines slightly. These are the things I can think of. The problem for OpenOffice is that the way to be better than Word is not to emulate the features introduced because Microsoft couldn’t handle better formatting. -- JDL -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
