Greetings.
A couple weeks ago I started throwing together a NetBSD pamphlet using
OpenOffice write using flyer.tex as a framework. Sadly, I havn't been able
to finish my pamphlet, but as an exercise I'd converted flyer.tex to an
OpenOffice writer document with the following minor modifications:
* Default page size of Letter instead of A4.
* 9pt font for main text instead of 10pt due to Letter pagesize.
* Some capitalization and punctuation corrections.
* Disabled automatic word hyphenation.
* Used jusfity mode to fill out the columns.
* Diamond-shaped bullet points - the "small" bullets were too small and the
"large" bullets were too large.
* Did not indent the bulleted points -- though it made things look to
scrunched together.
None of the wording/facts/figures were modified. A consequence of using 9pt
base font size and not indenting the bullet points is that there's quite a
good half column of unused space still available for more information.
You can grab it from:

Just wanted to throw this out there for anyone who was interested in
developing pamphlets in OpenOffice writer.
Enjoy,
-Jason
