Since you are teaching, perhaps you would be so kind as to have a look at a presentation I made for a LUG meeting. It is cobbled together and saddly out of date. Any improvements would be appreciated and then we could stick it on site in the main repository. Docs and files is NOT a good place. The URL to the file is http://documentation.openoffice.org/files/documents/75/2635/tlug2005.odp If you can handle Issue Tracker, we can make a task for this very easily as well. -- PLEASE KEEP MESSAGES ON THE LIST.
