This review is from: Open Office .org 3 WRITER Guide: OpenOffice.org 3.0, 548 pages (Paperback)
Ever since i started to use [...] I have enjoyed it. I like the diversified approach that is used. Not only that it is open source, and open document format, but also that it has a lot of features that Microsoft Word does not include, or do not have to offer.
One of the unique features is that you can import Word, Word Pro [Lotus SmartSuite], and even WordPerfect files and they are automatically recognized. In most cases the export side works well also. This manual is well written, for both the newbie to OpenOffice and to the experienced person who has used other word processing programs.

I was a power MS Word user....until now...,
By Northern Sally "Learning for the future" (North-East) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Open Office .org 3 WRITER Guide: OpenOffice.org 3.0, 548 pages (Paperback)
The only reason I stuck with MS Word for so long was the good manuals I could buy to support it....but I was looking for something else as a good alternative...I knew about Open Office, I had it on my computer, but not until I bought this complete Open Office Writer Guide was I able to unlock the power of Writer.
I can tell you this is more then a 'guide' is a fully complete manual - an A to Z! If you want to give Writer a try invest in this book, you wont regret it, and you'll save money on software too! Great edition!

This review is from: Open Office .org 3 WRITER Guide: OpenOffice.org 3.0, 548 pages (Paperback)
This text on OOo writer is well worth the price as it provides greater clarity on many fine points of writer; it can't, of course, fix some still remaining problems of writer: not seamless integration with 2.4; the table tool chart will blink out on you if try to move it -- and it never returns even after restart (delete and reinstall); a few other problem areas, such as (in book) need greater clarity on altering table cells' contents after creating (some options not clear; others don't work), but all-in-all the 3.0 writer a great program, and the book an immense help.
