I am moving some documents from M$ Word to my home computer that uses Debian Linux. The document in question was saved in the RTF format from Word and then re-opened in OOo Writer. The issue with the document is margin-spacing.

I wish to have a document-wide left and right margin of one (1) inch. Selecting All (ctrl-A) and then adjusting the margins does not move the margins to a document-wide setting. I suspect this is because in Word, the document had many "Section Break, Next Page"-marks thus causing many different margin settings to exist. This should be easy to correct, now that I know the probable cause.

Without starting a flame-war, I would like to know a good editor for long text-based documents. I have a set of documents that I am, as mentioned, transferring from M$ Word to an open standard (corporate bylaws, corporate minutes, etc.) that only need basic formatting (bold, underline, heading, etc.) for text files.
