Hello, Thank you very kindly!
The page at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ offers a link to the user mailing list archive - but that link turns out to be http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=users and you get a 404-style error message there. The place you pointed me to gets me the link http://openoffice.org/projects/www/lists/users/archive and that seems to work just fine - much appreciated! Meanwhile, OpenOffice.org is indeed on my laptop. Thank you very much for pointing me to the File Export option - I had mistakenly assumed that anything a file can be exported to, it can be saved to...so if it's not in the Save As option it might not be there. Now I'm able to export it as necessary. Last but not least, if anyone can let me know what I need to get (cords, software and the like) and do in order to play it through the projector I would very much appreciate it.
