OK! More information. I am in the process of migrating a small
organisation from MSO and have been successfully fielding all the usual
"what about" questions. However, there is one individual (there is
always at least one) who is pushing hard against the migration.

The subject line of this email was a question I was asked and my
response was much the same as yours. The counter argument then was "You
can multiple select and auto-align text boxes in Word, but you cannot do
that with Writer frames."

I never really understood the logic of introducing "Text Boxes" into
Writer, or what purpose they were intended to serve, when frames already
existed. Even saving documents in ODT format from MS Word converts their
text boxes into our frames.

So the short answer to this question is, no. Which is what I already
believed to be the case.

Best Regards
Dave
