Open Office 3.

Keep Blogging.
It has occurred to me that is Opera went belly up I'd lose all my posts. That would serve me right. I aught to save some of my lucid stuff (and let the dark side slide.)
I got the latest version of Open Office a few days ago and opened Writer, its word-processer; the equivalent of Microsoft's Word.
It's good but it is a pain adjusting the sttings ever time I use it. I like to see things on my screen as Web Viwe, it comes formatted to look like a sheet of paper, do people still use paper these days?
I like a larger font too and better line spacing (1 1/2 rather than the default.) I know I can reset the default but I don't know how. the last time I used the help files with it, I was worse off than when I began.
It's one thing to know you are ignorant, quite another to have the depth of my ignorance pointed out so starkly.
Anyway with this new edition I see it incorporates a font size slider. So that is 1/3 of the probelem fixed.
Now to copy and paste my best bits. [insert joke here] [/insert joke here]

Two simple remedies is your CD or DVD writer and opening another blogsite on someone else's servers. I have a few documents on Google Docs which will upload directly from Open Office and download there too.
My problem is that some of the earthquake stuff is too big to post there. I should break them down, I know.
My trouble is I lose things so easily. Once I have written it or got a good way in and paused for too long to do something else, I tend to forget all about it and can't build up enough steam to get enthusiastic about it again.
I have a folder full of stuff so off the wall and far from finished I can't even remember what there was in half of them that I thought I was looking at or trying to prove.
