Good point David. I created a document with nothing but line numbers
down the left side and with 12-point font and the default page template
in OpenOffice, there are 52 lines per page.

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
