The wiki, ODT, and PDF versions of the OOo2.x guides start here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual That's the bulk of the material. I don't recall if any other pages are CC-BY, but I don't think it's a lot. You can also look for Categories: CC-BY License | Documentation All of the relevant pages should have those categories assigned to them. (If not, I goofed in not adding the category info.) If it helps, here are more detailed links: The user guides for OOo3.3 are linked to these pages: PDF http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/OOo3.3_User_Guide_Chapters ODT http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/OOo3.3_Chapters_ODT The user guides for OOo3.2 are linked to these pages: PDF http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Chapters ODT http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Chapters_ODT --Jean On Fri, 2011-08-05 at 14:09 -0700, Dennis E.
