I agree with him: it takes some time to learn how to use a new program,
so be patient. I also have a suggestion of my own. Writer is the name of
the component of Apache OpenOffice used to work with text. It has its
own documentation that you can download from the following link. You
can also download from the Getting Started Guide the chapter, Getting
Started with Writer. Both will make excellent references.

Hey Apache,
I was really happy to download Apache and use it as a replacement of
Pages and/or Word.
It was HORRIBLE. Really, I got mad. I'm sorry but it is not possible
that the interface is so difficult to use. I tried for an hour to
create templates for the style of my document and nothing worked.
When I tried to make modifications in a style, it did not modify the
text. When I tried to erase the pre-programmed styles it was not
possible (there are 10 "titles" format, seriously who need 10 titles
format???? and of course the number 10 is betwenn 1 and 2, very
convenient...)
Basic things are impossible to do with your interface i'm sorry.
How can you help ??!
You've written to a list of users of the software, it is not 'ours'.
but some of us can help.
I have a couple of templates I use, it's not hard but the trick is to
familiarize yourself with the software. have you tried looking at
<https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Calc_Guide/Creating_editing_template>?
This may clarify matters or anyway get you in place to narrow down
your questions.
Complex software is usually confusing on first acquaintance, then it
becomes second-nature.
