I have been using Open Office for some time, so I knew what I was getting before I bought this. OO is an office-style productivity suite with all of the bells and whistles. It parallels MS Office in many ways and the switch over from MS Office is not especially trying. It is very customizable. You can also save your work in MS Word format which is great for passing documents, and if you ever do decide to switch back to Mr. Softee you won't lose your files. You do it this way:

In WRITER which is the word processor, go to the Tools Menu -> Options -> Load/Save -> General. In the lower right corner of the dialog box is a space marked "Always save as". Choose Microsoft 97/2000 from the pull down menu. You are in business.

Open Office does not have the plethora of after market manuals and guides that Microsoft does, but there are some. There is an on-line manual and some tutorials put out by the Open Office group. For those who are addicted to paper, you might consider these:

Both are respectable and available through Amazon.

If you want a inexpensive no nonsense office/home/school software that does all that the high dollar software does, this is your choice. Let's face it....there are not alot of choices out there either, but the OpenOffice delivers. No problems with downloading (I'm on dial-up and it was amazingly fast)I was shocked at how easy and fast it was. It's uncomplicated, straight forward with more options than I will ever use. I could not afford the microsoft office products they were just to high. You will not be sorry for this purchase. After ordering, I got the package well within the expected time frame of delivery. Thank you Amazon and Flexiety Software!!!
