I followed your instructions, which were excellent. It worked perfectly, and
I like it better than Office 97! Again, thanks, Bob

Came this utterance formulated by Robert Barrickman to my mailbox:
I am new at OpenOffice, but I like it so far. I'm sorry that I cannot
help you because I am new at this.
Welcome to the community.
Kindly consider telling me how do I participate in obtaining help and
information about OpenOffice like you did. Who do I send email with my
questions?
You have already emailed to the right place for assistance. This list
consists of a large number of OpenOffice.org users and some developers
willing to help each other in a community manner.
I do however recommend that instead of just replying to emails with your
questions you get in the habit of composing a new email to the list with
one question per email. Also please ensure you compose the subject line
of the email to reflect the intent of the question.
Secondly, how can I place a "bookmark" on a page and/or pages
(step-by-step procedure)? For example, in Office 97 Word I can click
on Insert, then click on Bookmark. I can type in a name or subject in
the bookmark window, and if I need to go to that book mark all I have
to do is bring up the bookmark window and click on the subject and
click on "go to" and close the window. There I am at where I want to
go. How do I do that in OpenOffice, please?
In OpenOffice.org things can be done differently to Word (how can a
program ever hope to be better unless it is different?). Bookmarks do
exist but not in quite the same way as Word.
From the OO.o3 Writer Guide page 449:
1) Select the text you want to bookmark. Click Insert > Bookmark.
2) On the Insert Bookmark dialog box (Figure 392), the larger box
lists any previously defined bookmarks. Type a name for this
bookmark in the top box. Click OK.
Use the navigator (A compass icon on the standard toolbar) to move
direct to any bookmark.
In addition to the bookmarks you may wish to investigate the rich world
that styles, the stylist and the navigator can open to you for document
navigation and many other options.
Again, welcome.
