Re: instruction book?
You should check http://www.odfauthors.org/ All books are free to download but you can order printed copies from LuLu http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/opendocument Even if some manuals refer LibreOffice they could help you since the Sidebar is quite similar (it was "imported" from the OpenOffice code) Hope this helps!

You can easily print the books on your own or consult your local copy shop. For each book there is one bigger file containing the complete book (Getting Started, Writer, Calc, etc) and smaller files for those who are interested in single chapters.

Forwarding to Melanie. Melanie, use the documentation list for discussing documentation in future: http://openoffice.apache.org/mailing-lists.html .

The OpenOffice project maintains a list of OpenOffice books at <http://www.openoffice.org/support/books.html>. Most of these books date from 2012 (OpenOffice 3.4), i.e. before the introduction of the sidebar. I must confess I haven't read any of them, since I've been using OpenOffice for almost ten years now.

I'm used to looking at a book. You are probably not the only person who finds the online documentation confusing, but most people probably don't tell us about this. If you could say a few things about what makes the documentation confusing and how we might improve it, that could be very helpful.

instruction book?
I have downloaded open office apache about a year ago. Use it almost everyday. Thank you. What I need to know is: is there an instruction book for Apache Open Office that I can buy, and what is the cost? I hate looking at the on screen instructions. They are confusing to me. I'm used to looking at a book. Thank you for your time
