Re: [libreoffice-users] Text-boxes. How to set up?

     One way to do this is to
1. Use Draw to make your curved text-box.
2. Convert this box into a bitmap and save it as a PNG.
3. Use this as the background for your pages.
4. Use paragraph styles to place the text where you want it. (Use the 
Indenting & Spacing tab of the paragraph style.) With the curves in the 
background, you might need to have several paragraph styles for 
differences in indentation.
