Dear collegues! I would like to thank you for your kind comments on my ws. They are really encourariging and inspiring! I believe that my ws could be more useful if they were not rigid, if there were an opportunity to edit them somehow. But I work in Open Office Draw, then change staff into jpg format and finally in doc. It is a so called compulsory measure because every time I upload (and in most cases download) a file made �originally in doc - it became distorted beyond recognition.� So I present my apologies for my unalterable worksheets and thank you once again for those warm words I received today and yesterday !!! |

Yes, it can be really awkward using Open Office Draw! Is there a particular reason you don�t use Open Office Writer? It works far more easily with Word documents.
Don�t be too worried about �unalterable� worksheets - if someone really wants to change one you can do it in myriad ways. You can edit the picture in graphic editing software, use textboxes, there are a lot of ways to tweak things if you look into it!

Hello, Alien boy! My reason for not working with Open Office Writer (I have 3.0.0) is that I can�t manage it. Now I use it only to save a jpg worksheet (converted from .odg) in it and then save the file as �.doc. Please, don�t laugh!  �(an awkward way, isn�t it?) If I work originally in Open Office Writer, the document turns out distorted too and moreover, I don�t like it when images appear with a thin grey border and thus spoil the whole effect. The fact is, I�ve only started to use the Office and I am still learning.� |

I won�t laugh! The main thing is to be able to produce things that you need!
It can be quite tricky getting used to new software.
This is a handy reference for people who are used to using Word but are now using Writer:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/HOW_TO/word_processing/Word-to-OOo.html
I�ll keep my eyes open for some good tutorials for you (both Draw & Writer).
It seems like that you�re getting comfortable with Draw though, which is a good way to go!
Keep up the good work
