(I tried to send this out a few minutes ago but it didn't appear to go out. My apologies if this is a repeat mailing.)
Thanks for the welcome. I'm hoping I can help out in some way with documentation. I checked the documentation web site but it seems to be unavailable right now, so I'll keep trying. I worked as a product development engineer for many years (non computer rel ated product), until I had to opportunity to take an early retirement offer last year. On that job, I used MS Word and Excel on a daily basis for at least 10 years. I've taught adult education courses in Excel for around 4 years now. I've used strictly OpenOffice on my home computer for the past 3 years. Recently, I started a part time job as the OpenOffice trainer for a non-profit health-care organization that is transitioning its 200 computer users from MS Office to OpenOffice. This has provided me the opportunity to greatly expand my knowledge of OpenOffice. Before this job, I thought I knew OpenOffice fairly well; but I knew what *I* used OpenOffice for, which was a small fraction of the full capabilities of the suite. Now as people come to me with questions about things that I never faced in my own use, I need to do some quick learning myself to be able to assist them, to minimize the time and frustration they might spend trying to work things out on their own. I greatly appreciate all of the documentation that exists, and the users formum where I've submitted a number of questions already (and received helpful answers). I'm looking to do something to contribute to help make the documentation even better.
