Thanks Gary, Jean, and Sigrid. I have my login and was able to log in to the site.
Jean, to answer your questions, no I have never used OpenOffice before. I have MS experience, primarily with Word and Excel, and with Access database to a lesser extent. For now I'll just stick with contributing to OpenOffice.org, rather than LibreOffice. I will do my homework and read the information in the 4 bullets under "Getting Started with ODFAuthors." I am mostly interested in editing, so perhaps that's a good place to start. I will do a lot of reading before attempting to review any of the Draw Guide chapters.
