 Getting started with OpenOffice.org 2.0 December 6, 2008
Donald R. Balmer
I was disappointed in this book. I wanted to use OpenOffice Calc and needed information on formulas. They are not covered in the book. You have to dig them out of the help files in many little pieces. It may be more help when I get to some other part of OpenOffice. Don't know yet.

This is a readable and easily usable guide to an excellent program. For years I have tried a variety of word processor programs that offered everything that could be needed, but I always went back to a program called Perfect Works that I ran on Windows 95. It still works on Windows Vista (wonder of wonders), but I think that having tried Open Office with the guidance of the Amazon book on its use, I have finally found a replacement.

This book provides a systematic introduction to the features of OpenOffice.org 2.0, an office suite that is free but has most of the features of Microsoft Office. It is well-illustrated and organized for those attempting to learn these features. It is still a work in progress, or it might be even better.

Open Office is free, so there's a huge benefit over MS Office. I've been using Office 2003 for years, and cannot justify the upgrade cost. So I got Open Office via the Internet and bought this book on Amazon.com. Get the software and all of the upgrades free, and use this manual to show you the ropes of how to use OpenOffice. I have now all but abandoned MS Office except for Outlook.
No this isn't an OpenOffice review, but if you want to tap into the power of it without going in circles, buy this manual and say goodbye to Microsoft.
