Hi Mike

In Word, using the default style sheet with one inch header and footer,
using 12 point, there are 45 lines on a page.

If you have a laser printer and you use a reasonable quality paper, you may
be able to feel the layout on the page.

Subject: [access-uk] Formal letter writing and the correct format

Hello lovely listers,

It's a long time since I have had to write any formal letters using a 
computer.  Not since I lost my sight in fact.

Having the need to write one in the next twenty-four hours or so I went 
searching online for tips.

As I remembered, one piece of advice is to centre the letter 
vertically.  In other words not to print a very short letter which does 
not fill a page of A4 with the text at the top and tons of open space below.

Does anybody have any tips for getting this part right?  I am using 
Apache OpenOffice and I am not yet very familiar with it's functions.  
And I suspect the more advanced among you can probably tell me how many 
lines of default font will fit vertically on one side of A4.

Mike
