Re: [libreoffice-users] Text Orientation

Hi :)
I have a feeling this is probably best done in Draw.  I tend to use Writer
far too much for poster design and sometimes, later in the process, realise
that Draw would have been better.  Sometimes it's worth copy&pasting
elements onto a fresh Draw document but mostly i just stay in Writer.

Writer is fine but Draw has a few extra features.  It's just that i am not
so familiar with Draw and occasionally stumble around a bit.  For example
when placing images i prefer the right-click menu in Writer as it's quite a
bit different in Draw because of the extra options.
Regards from
Tom :)
