How to make my format in OpenOffice the same as in MS Word?
Posted: Fri Mar 14, 2008 2:32 am
So, I downloaded Open Office because I have started doing transcription work from home. I was told that I need to have Microsoft Word. Well, I can't afford that. So, Open Office seemed to be the next best choice.
BUT - I noticed that Microsoft Word uses different page sizes than Open Office does, and I can't figure out how to make them both have the same formatting. I noticed that it looks like Microsoft Word's pages go six inches across, but Open Offices go seven inches. Also, the length of the page in MS Works is 9 inches, but in Open Office it's approximately 9.5 inches. This is probably the most "newbie" question I could possibly be asking, but how do I make it so that Open Office has the EXACT same page size/margins/everything as Microsoft Word?
Thank you so much to whoever can answer this question, I will be so grateful.
