Hi, I wanted to suggest you that there should be templates for general documents like Resumes, Letters, Faxes, Mailing Lists etc. in Open Office as the Microsoft also provides the templates with Office Package. So that it will be easier to make general documents fast. Aditya Vikram
The OOo (OpenOffice.org) mailing lists constantly receive posts about the large size of the file users have to download. Including all the possible "extras" (eg. templates, clipart, etc.) that users "might" want, would at least double the size of the download. Microsoft's equivalent program is supplied on recorded media, so MS throwing in a few extra "goodies" costs the buyer nothing more than the hundreds of (Dollars, Pounds, Euros) they have already paid. OOo (OpenOffice.org) adopts a different policy, in that the user can download the base software for free and add whatever "extras" they choose.
There are a number of resources for OOo extras. The following link is a good starting point: http://www.smalldataproblem.org/ooextras and here is another: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org
