Description Rodrigo Zimmermann 2012-04-22 15:40:31 UTC 
Create in LibreOffice Writer a master page, this page will seek to allow manipulating objects similar to what occurs in the Draw. This will give the Writer features a publishing tool, allowing the layout of the pages.
I do not know if the idea is presented that can be implemented, and also do not know if the file format adopted by LibreOffice offers the possibility to extend its functionality in the way that I presented. Despite my ignorance, I ask that the idea is appreciated.

adjusting Severity (-> enhancement) as this is an enhancement request

@Rodrigo: 
I'm not sure how you think a master page could work in Writer. Writer is a text processor, so it handles continuous text of arbitrary length. It is *not* page based, therefore you can not define a master page, at least I can not imagine how.

What you can do instead, is setting up a 'Page Template' where certain style settings (borders, header/footer lines, columns) are predefined. But this is implemented already, you just need to understand how to use it.

Please discuss such raw ideas in an appropriate list. If your can elaborate your idea, feel free to come back and reopen this request.
