Theme: OpenOffice

Some members of the Agewell Computing Club have started on OpenOffice 2.0. As there are relatively few tutorials on the web, or books in print, we offer the links on this page. They are not all suitable for beginners, but with perseverance and help from your Hackney Silver Surfers tutors, you should get on top of OpenOffice in less time than it took you to learn MS Office.

Links for the word-processor 'Writer' are in the list of Related themes.
