Open Office is wonderful, until... you try to do something odd with it. I was trying today, without much success, to create a business card. I went out and spent (including tax) about $26 on resume paper and blank business cards... The second being the larger expense!! Really $20 (19.95) for 300 business cards!? GWOLLLEEEEE I can nearly have them custom printed at that rate! But I want to be able to experiment with several ideas, including printing on both sides.... for my cards, and limit my exposure to about 10 or 20 cards at a time. That is if I can ever get open office to give me an actual business card template and populate it with the info I want... I may have to see if someplace has a bare bones copy of windows word, since I don't intend to put in any logos or other artwork (at least to start) on my card. Well, enough griping here, back to trying to get the program to do what it says it will do, which is print 10 cards on 8.5*11 paper before I move to the actual business cards.
I hacked away at my resumé in order to get it down to a single page, and I've got a bit of a pdf that is supposed to teach superior resumé strategies to read sometime soon, so I guess I'd best get back to the ol' grind stone!
