Re: [libreoffice-users] Text-boxes. How to set up?

Hi :)
Thanks Dan, Brian and Regina :)  Yes, the header and footer have the 
charity/company banners top&bottom.  Logos and bits&bobs 
sometimes go outside the curved space but really only on the first 
page.  I've only shown 2 of the middle 12 pages but the rest are 
identical once i've added the header&footer to all.  

Could 
the frame have the same rounded corners as the drawing element?  Could i
 replace the frame&drawing element with something else that would 
work?  


Brian thanks for signposting me to page 122 of the Writers Guide to link the frames.  That makes a 
big difference.  Now the only problem is trying to fit the text inside the curve.  Dan thanks for 
the idea about using paragraph styles but i think that is going to be about the same as i do now.  
At the moment i use 

Shift Enter
to get a new-line that is still part of the same paragraph and then i just use a lot of space-bar 
at the start and end of the line to move the fully-justified text into the curve!  

Thanks so far and regards from 
Tom :)
