Similar to my note about the FAQs, there is a collection of how-tos on
the OOo wiki. These also need to be checked to see if they are out of
date.

That page is also a good place to check if you're thinking of writing

There are quite a lot of existing FAQs on the OOo wiki. Someone was
organising and sorting them and (I think) working through them doing
updates. (I have no idea if that someone is still around.) Anyone

Thank you for offering to let us post your students' guide on the
