Very good, but not as in depth as I would like.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 2, 2005

Verified Purchase

The book covers the major aspects of the software suite, but it really doesn't get into the details of the programs. For that, I recommend a Dummies book on the Microsoft version, since they don't have an in-depth book on the OpenOffice.org version of the software applications. For what it is, an overview of the suite, it is very good. I highly recommend it as a fantastic starting point. I paid a paltry $7 for the book, delivered. How can you go wrong with a price like that? Truth be told, I believe it would have been worth the cover price of $24.99. It is an excellent book to start with, but you'll want to dig deeper after you make it through this book. I hope the authors will consider making full-blown Dummies books for Impress/Presentation, and Calc/Spreadsheet, and the Writer/Text Document applications, too.

I highly recommend OpenOffice.org to all non-profit organizations, as well as for-profit companies: save yourselves $200-$500, per computer, along with the upgrade/compatibility issues, and dump Microsoft. You will be glad you did. Cheers!

I have an entire collection of the Dummies how-to books (about 25) and they are always my "go-to" reference guides for anything computer related,and this one is no exception. They are extremely easy to understand and always have a dash of humor thrown in to make learning a complex subject fun!! The format of the books is designed to allow access to specific areas of information without the need to start at page 1 and read the entire book front to back. This study guide,like all the rest in the series, will become invaluble to anyone wanting to learn and understand The free and amazing OpenOffice.org office suite of products. Download the software,buy this book,and set yourself free from Microsoft's Office programs. You'll be forever glad you did!!!

This book helped me considerably to understand how to create a system to record financial actions, print them out and save them on my computer in expensively compared to using Microsofts programs. I only wish the computer disk would have been furnished which would allow me to download the program as I lost the program during a power outage. fortunately I was permitted to download it from the source

When reading about the program before I installed on the laptop it gave a few differences from MS office so that's the reason for purchasing book but there could be something down the line I may need to refer to later.

Great source of information!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 14, 2014

Verified Purchase

Open Office for Dummies has really proved to be an invaluable source of information to guide me through using a new program. It's very similar to Microsoft Office without the expense! The guide book is full of helpful tips. I'm old, using these programs doesn't come intuitively to me, I need guidebooks! I would recommend it to anyone using a new program!

Dummy book not as good as others.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

I have had other "Dummies" books that have been extremely helpful because they had excellent indexes. The index on this volume is not as intuitive as other Dummy books. Maybe that is because the lay out of the book is not as thorough as other Dummy books I've used.

What Index?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

Is it just me? I downloaded this book from Kindle, but there doesn't seem to be an Index which works. I have a very specific enquiry, to do with formatting a page when setting out text for an e-book, but there doesn't seem any way to get to the 'Chapter 4', which is where the text editor starts, or any way of looking up 'Page Formatting' directly. I know what you're going to say, 'Just click on the list at the beginning'. What list? There isn't one. What Index? It doesn't open to sections. In fact, the only thing the 'Query' button seems to do is contain references to where the words are mentioned on a page! So, 'Chapter Four' is mentioned on page 2 - it will take me there, but it won't link to the real Chapter 4. Wow. Modern technology!
