Alba is a very easy to use extension for OpenOffice Writer. Alba extension simplifies work with documents, containing pages with different layouts.
The window with options for inserting pages with a landscape or portrait layout opens after choosing menu item "Insert" - "Landscape/Portrait..." This extension creates pages with styles "_style_ L_Alba" (for landscape pages) and "_style_ P_Alba" (for portrait pages) and manages them.
Note that "section" in Alba is not "section" in OOo - "section" here is one or few pages between 2 page breaks where page style changes. If document has not page breaks - whole document will be a "section".
In order to install download the extension and save it anywhere on your computer. In OpenOffice.org, choose Tools > Extension Manager from the menu bar. In the Extension Manager dialog, click Add.
Find and select the extension you want to install and click Open. The extension begins installing. You may be asked to accept a license agreement. When the installation is complete, the extension is listed in the Extension Manager dialog.
