Whatever would be printed in a large typescript could be glued on cardboard or some other solid background. I'm thinking of one of my personal meditations or a Shakespearian sonnet or the Gettysburg address. I need to know if openoffice has the printer settings to do this. Whenever I try to write something in a large font on a "letter" sized page, the lines wrap; this is not what I want! If OpenOffice isn't the right application, is there any other? (I'm copying the -questions FreeBSD list in case they have a clue.) thanks for any tips/howto/or other apps! gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public Service Unix
