Hi list
Sorry to roll 5 questions into one i know it makes it hard to respond.

Background:

Bristol city council are acting as a testbed in the UK for opensource software.

They are using star office. It seems some of the training has not been up to
scratch and users are having problems, now i realise that they _should_ be
getting that support from elsewhere. I feel it will reflect badly on Star/open
office if they dont get the support from somewhere... can anyone help?


Problems:

1, Would you care to explain the mail merge function and how it relates to Word
Perfect/Word?

2, how do you create graphs?

3, how do you import graphics?

4,how do you produce tables in landscape format in a portrait document?

5, Perhaps you could also explain why you can only number a 74 page document up
to 29?

Nobody else can. The council's "Star Team" can't. They only offer basic courses
not advanced ones because they can't use the advanced functions either.
Similar problems exist with spreadsheets too. It's chaos and many people are
querying whether the new software is up to it.

Some of these have IMO been answered already in the thread questions 4 + 5
definately need more support...

Thanks
