I just bought a new notebook computer. I asked a friend where I could get a reasonable word processing, etc. package for my new computer. He highly recommended using the Open Office Suite. I went to your website and am very impressed! At work I've been used to using the Micorsoft suite of software products, for which I can get/have a good base of reference material. My question is, is there good reference material for the use of Open Office Suite software? I'm referring to books, etc... I ask this question because there are always times when we need good help to solve a problem...that is for cases when the help menu just isn't good enough.

Many thanks for your help, Victor Foose from Pennsylvania ([EMAIL

I answered this already, back on the 16th. I am pasting in my answer on that date:

There is plenty of online documentation.  For instance, to to:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/index.html
or
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/index.html
or
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manua
l
and many others.

I visited all three links, and I see no docs for OO 3. Are my eyes simply
missing something?

Thanks, Elchanan
My guess - since v3.0 just came out it will take months before user documentation is updated to reflect v3.0. Usually there is little change to documentation necessary. In other words, documentation relative to v1.4 is still largely applicable to v3.0. The method of accomplishing a specific task is usually not changed. Why implement an unnecessary learning curve? New features need to be documented, and the documentation incorporated within the user manuals. That will take awhile.

Your original question was:

I stand by my original answer. Maybe I should have answered your question with the one word answer "YES" which would have been technically correct, but not of much help.
