Hi,
I have a couple of additions.

2) Are their any textbooks or teaching tools out there
specifically for OpenOffice?
I think you can find whatever you want all around the web, and a
lot of services already exist around OpenOffice.org installation /
teaching and so on.
What is still missing, is good migration plans, including to
reverse money, or buy machines or even provide developpers hours
for OpenOffice.org development, for middle or long term after the
migration. In one word : a real feedback including the development.
Don't forget to come with the users during the migration, because
this could be a good reason to fail.
There is a lot of documentation available for OpenOffice.org. There
is a whole documentation project, that has a lot of useful
information. <http://documentation.openoffice.org/>
There appears to be the possibility of even more books on the
horizon, such as <http://openoffice.blogs.com/openoffice/2007/02/
another_openoff.html>.
We have 2 classes that teach the Microsoft Office Suite and would
need something to replace their textbook with.
3) How similar will the Aqua version of OpenOffice be compared to
the Windows version of OpenOffice.
Aqua port and MS version of OpenOffice.org will be absolutely the
same in "features" terms : we are Official OpenOffice.org project,
we use all OpenOffice.org features, and are synchronized with the
latest code.
The only difference with Microsoft version of OpenOffice.org will
be the look and feel( e.g. the Native FilePicker).
Another simple solution : using Parallels, you should even be able
to run Microsoft version on Mac OS X in a window ( it already works
perfectly if I'm not wrong).
CrossOver would be another, possibly better solution to Parallels.
You won't need a Windows license unlike Parallels Desktop. I have
tested this myself, and it appears to work fine. However you are
unlikely to be getting the same desktop integration as our Mac
version that requires X11.
