With OpenOffice's WP I can change typeface, margin, &c by dragging mouse over read-in file. Once entire file is highlighted, altering fonts and margin is easy. With Abiword, mousing the file is extremely slow. Is there an easier way of resetting the margin to be much narrower? This would save paper and handling in my early drafts. OO is outstanding++, but takes too long to build/rebuild. Be nice to have a lighter-weight WP on my servers. So if there is a magic answer, I'd be much obliged for some clues! gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
