any information as to what products and services from open
office.org which would allow me to e-mail resumes and open
attachments would be most helpful.
thank you.

OpenOffice.org is a full suite of programs (word processor,
spreadsheet, presentation, database, and more). If you are actually
planning on creating and maintaining your resume with it, the Writer
(word processor) component is very good for creating files and
e-mailing them (in various formats). And OOo is capable of opening a
large number of types of files, many of which are no longer supported
by their original developers, and that could be very useful to you in
dealing with attachments people send to you.
OOo is an integrated package, not separate programs, so you basically
get everything when you download the program from www.openoffice.org.
The software, documentation, and support are all free, with
additional materials available elsewhere either free or commercially.
You can check the website for more information about what OOo can do
and how. Welcome to the open source community!
It might be added as an FYI that the suite doesn't include an email
application, web browser, or newsreader. Although Michael didn't ask
about these things, other queries to this list imply sometimes that
people expect it to.

Sigh. Good point, but I hate to get into listing all the things OOo is
*not* intended to do that various MS office products do. There was a
pretty comprehensive list here a while back of all kinds of
possibilities for other MS product substitutions -- there are *lots* of
them! Maybe we should just list all the OOo component types and hope
they notice that the other stuff isn't there?
