Hi Ortiz,

OpenOffice is primarily a desktop application, similar to MS Office.

However, products such as Google Docs and Google Mail may give you the 'cloud' 
functionality suggested here.  Google Docs supports the Open Document Format, 
as 
usedby OpenOffice.  There is an OO plugin (I have not used it) which links 
OpenOffice to 
Google Docs, here: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/ooo2gd

In addition, the LibreOffice fork of OpenOffice has the backing of Google.  
LibreOffice may 
incorporate native support for Google Docs in the future.  As LibreOffice 
remains open 
source, this functionality may be incorporated into the main OpenOffice.org 
project.  This is 
merely speculation on my part - while I use and test both products, I do not 
make 
development decisions.

Best wishes to you and yours for Christmas and 2011.
