Introduction

Writer provides several ways for you to control page layouts:

• Page styles
• Columns
• Frames
• Tables
• Sections

This chapter describes these methods and some associated things:

• Headers and footers
• Numbering pages
• Changing page margins

Page layout is usually easier if you select the options to show text, object, table, and section boundaries in Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Appearance and if you select the options for paragraph ends, tabs, breaks, and other items in Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org Writer > Formatting Aids.
