How do I create a timeline in OpenOffice Writer?
For a school project I have to create a 6-step timeline on a single landscape page. It basically just has to be 6 equally spaced empty boxes side-by-side that I can fill with text, preferably with an arrow pointing from one box to the next. It seems simple enough, but for all my tinkering, I just can't figure it out. I found out how to create rectangular boxes to fill with text, but if I were to manually create each box it could get pretty sloppy.

If I were in Microsoft Word, I would insert a table with 10 columns. I would put the first date, in the first box, → in the second box, the 2nd date in the 3rd box, etc. Then I would fool around with the column widths.

You could also use textboxes arranged as a flowchart.
