Hi, I can recomend you to check out some youtube tutorials about how to use OpenOffice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI53WCpAJ3Y There are also free ebooks on http://www.odfauthors.org/apache-openoffice And finally on our own documentation site: http://www.openoffice.org/documentation/
Make sure that you donwload OpenOffice from our website or from Sourceforge. Once done that, please check out our templates here: http://templates.openoffice.org/ This will help you with your document design issues. Also to enhance the safety of your documents, please create a folder named 'backup' and go to OpenOffice Tools -> Options and General -> Path to set up the location where your backup documents will be saved. Here is a very nifty tutorial about it: http://openoffice.blogs.com/openoffice/2006/11/creating_automa.html On 8/20/14, susiesharp2...@gmail.com <susiesharp2...@gmail.com> wrote: > Today was a wonderful day.
