Steps

  1. 1
    The first thing you will need to do is open OpenOffice as we have already done
    .
    We are going to create a document. Using Headers and Footers make the document more formal. If you wanted to create an essay, formal document, or story, anywhere you need to give a title and some information at the bottom of the page.

    If we wanted to create different sections, for example, this section would be the Introduction, and we want to move quickly onto the next page without having to press enter and go all the down to create it, we can just make a new page by going to Insert and selecting Manual Break
    .

    Page break is selected so it's going to break the page in 2 allowing us to create and write on the second page so you don't have to waste time pressing enter to go all the way down
    .
