[Solved] I am trying to compose an ad.
I am trying to compose an ad. I set out my page size and when I start to type my copy it puts it all in a line down the left side. What do I need to do?

What application? Writer? Draw? Impress?
Any hint of what kind of layout you need?

Re: I am trying to compose an ad.
I was using Writer. The ad is a quarter vertical page, 2.5" x 4.5". When I start to type the copy, it all goes letter by letter, down the left side. I want to center my business name and address. Then change the font with some more info. I want to either have the photo of the shop as background or a tiny picture somewhere. Too much info?

What are your margins - turn on /View /Text boundaries to see these. You may need to /Format /Page and change the defaults to about 0.25 in (6mm if you use metric).

OK. I did that. It still lines all my copy down the left side. I want the line spacing to be single and it says go to context menu. Can't find context menu.

Context menu is got by right clicking on an item in your document.

Thank you. By item, you mean a word in the document or something else?

Usually on an area or in a paragraph. Try it wherever you like - If nothing is offered it won't do any harm. If you don't like what is offered, click Cancel.
