Setting an OpenOffice.org template for MS Word default margins
Submitted by oreo_masta on Mon, 11/20/2006 - 02:30.Intro
OpenOffice.org has great default margins, 0.79" all around. Microsoft Word's margins are 1.00" top and bottom, 1.25" left and right. I always encourage the use of wider margins which use up less paper. However, in the university setting some professors mandate that the margins be Microsoft Word's default. Other times you may have a 12-page paper due on a topic which you have no interest in at all... in which case you'll want to work those margins for all they're worth and setting them to MS Word's default is nice "legal" way to do that.
Anyway, there's no easy way to do this like there is an easy way for changing the default file format to Microsoft defaults (in the unfortunate event that it's appealing to do that). The way default margins are done would be to set up a custom template titled "MS Word margins" (or whatever) for reuse.
Minutes 11/16/2006
We had an AMAZING Thanksgiving dinner -- YUM
We also had John talk about the Fedora Core 6 release and its new features.
It is really neat. If you would like more information you can ask John (he is basically an expert and LOVES it) or you can google it.
Fedora has a lot of neat features of graphics such as transparent, 3D desktops, wobble screens, and more!

Photos from the LAN are up!
The photos from the 2nd CS Club LAN party are up! This first album will also showcase our image gallery module. Currently authenticated users are allowed to create images but are not allowed to create galleries. Drupal's permissions are kind of annoying for it. I'll look into permissions.
John and I will also try to get photo uploads to forum posts working soon too. For now enjoy the album though :) You'll also notice a left-hand navigation for photo albums has been made.
Cheers!
