Hi :) Yes. You are on it. We are here. Prolly best to start with some combination of video guides, published guides and our Faq.
Videos from the "Spoken Tutorials" http://www.spoken-tutorial.org/list_videos?view=1&foss=LibreOffice-Suite-Writer&language=English That is specifically for Writer but that is usually a good way to get started. Note those are produced by a 3rd party and in a variety of human languages. They also do guides for many other OpenSource products so if you go slightly off-track you might find yourself producing movies instead with Blender or something. http://www.spoken-tutorial.org Published guides, which you can also buy as paper-backs but here is the free-link https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications somewhere at the bottom of most of them is the link to the bookstore. Best to start with Chapter 3 of their "Getting Started Guide" The Faq for obvious quick questions is https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq although it is still being translated from the French. Most sections are done. Currently focussing on translating the Calc one from French. People are welcome to join in with that or pick one of the other sections. Base, Writer and the general one are done but i'm not sure about the others. Generally i would encourage people to ask questions on this list first and then start hunting for the answers. if you find the answer before we do then just post (perhaps copy&paste) the answer back to this list to let us know. There are other mailing lists, forums and an "Ask LO 'bot' " but now you are here you have already reached the best one (i might be biased there!) Mostly LO is almost exactly like MS Office but it's worth getting into "Styles" asap to get the biggest boost in productivity and quality. Styles in MS Office is a painful thing that has to be fought against in order to stop it flicking between different ones inappropriately but in LibreOfice/OpenOffice it does the reverse and just smooths things out making it easier to import unformatted text and quickly bring that into the same look&feel as the rest of the document. So, welcome in!
