better suited to the list.

Please keep messages on the List.

Please note that users@openoffice.org is a mailing list and the best
email address you can use when you have a users problem or question
about OpenOffice.org. However please note that it is a moderated email
list manned by voluteers and most replies *only* go to the mailing list
so you should really
consider subscribing by sending an email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] There are many questions asked and
answered on the users mailing list every day, if you find that there are
too many emails then you can read the messages to these lists on
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.questions or subscribe to
the digest version of the list by emailing
[EMAIL PROTECTED]


Please reply only to users@openoffice.org

Here are some resources to help you:

The normal ettiquette on mailing lists is to respond only to the list 
address and not directly to the email address of the person asking the 
question.  Though many of the list members will notice that you are not 
subscribed and will send a copy of their response to you, this is not 
always the case.  Therefore, you may not receive all responses at your 
email address.

Please also remember that you should always reply to
users@openoffice.org 
only, and not directly to the person helping you. There are literally 
thousands of people participating in the mailing list. Others on the
list 
can also help. 

Also, by replying to the mailing list, everyone benefits from the 
questions asked and the solutions provided.

You can of course join our helpful community mailing lists - there is
no 
cost and you are only required to restrict your emails to
OpenOffice.org 
topics:
 - users@openoffice.org : for OpenOffice.org questions, or when you
feel 
                comfortable, replies to questions;
 - discuss@openoffice.org : for OpenOffice.org general discussions; 
 - dev@openoffice.org : for questions developing compiling
OpenOffice.org; and
 - dev@api.openoffice.org : for programming using the OpenOffice.org
APIs.


There are several ways to participate in the mailing lists:
- subscribe to the users mailing list by emailing
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
  NOTE: that the users@openoffice.org list has between 30 and 100 mails
per 
        day - most of which are interesting responses to answers. If you
find
        that after awhile you are not comfortable with this volume of
email 
        then you can always be removed from the mailing list by sending
an
        email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] AND DO NOT FORGET TO
ALSO 
        REPLY TO THE CONFIRMATION EMAIL!
- subscribe to the relevant newsserver gateway for the mailing list on
  news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.questions (i.e. 
  users@openoffice.org)
news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.general 
  (i.e. discuss@openoffice.org)

There is no compulsion to join the mailing list or the news server
gateway.

If you only want to read replies without interacting with the mailing
list
then all you need to do is to use the websites :
 - http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.openoffice.questions or
 - http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/SummarizeList?listName=users

Simply look down in the list until you find your question. Often the
answers 
are shown following the question. Sometimes however the answers get
separated 
from the question, and show up separate in the list. Simply start at
your 
question and then move forward in the time sequence.

The benefit of using this approach is, quite often the questions and
answers 
are grouped together - either by question (on gmane.org) or in the order
they 
were received (on the openoffice.org site).

There are also additional facilities where you can search for answers. 
Often the question you want to ask has already been raised, and the
answers 
are in the archive. You are encouraged to check the archives as your
question 
has probably been asked and answered previously : 
  http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/SearchList?listName=users ( note
that 
     you will probably want to change from "search subject" to "search
body")

Many people check out the archives first, and then if they can't find
an 
answer, they ask the question in the mailing list.

NOTE: that all emails sent to the mailing list are public, including
your 
email address. We do have filters to prevent virus and spam going to
the 
mailing list, but this may not stop mail harvesters from getting your
email 
address for spam.

Other useful resources include :
 - http://user-faq.openoffice.org/#FAQ : where many questions that are 
        frequently asked have been answered or 
        http://documentation.openoffice.org/faqs/index.html 
 - http://documentation.openoffice.org : where you will find alot of
relevant 
        documentation;
 - http://www.ooforum.org or use the link on
http://documentation.openoffice.org/ : an online help forum;
 - http://OOoDocs.org : extra documentaion;
 - http://OOExtras.org : has templates, artwork, labels, etc
