An increasing number of schools in the U.S. and worldwide are using and teaching OpenOffice.org, a free, open-source suite of word processing, presentation, spreadsheet, and database programs. To serve these schools, Visibooks has published the first series of textbooks that help students learn OpenOffice.org programs. Visibooks has published four new textbooks on the programs that make up the OpenOffice.org 2.0 office suite: Base, Calc, Impress, and Writer. The titles are The Visibooks Guide to Base 2.0, The Visibooks Guide to Calc 2.0, The Visibooks Guide to Impress 2.0, and The Visibooks Guide to Writer 2.0. These new textbooks are based on pictures, not words. Large screenshots show students what to do, while short instructions walk them through tasks. A typical computer class textbook contains over 50,000 words, but Visibooks' textbooks on OpenOffice.org contain only around five thousand. Visibooks, LLC, based in Frederick, MD, publishes illustration-based computer class textbooks. Visibooks textbooks are sold and licensed to schools and corporations worldwide at www.visibooks.com.
