I have OpenOffice.org 1.0 Resource Kit (a book) by Haugland sitting
about 24" from me. It's getting kind of dated (although there is a
download available for changes in 1.1.0). The authors are waiting for
2.0 to come out before publishing a new edition. I've found it very
helpful for learning OOo. It's a good mix of introductory and more
technical details - for the most part described in understandable English.
You can find it new or used in places like Amazon.com.

Hi, I have one question re an earlier post, and a few other VERY general questions.
[1] For Jonathon, I have a feeling I may start a holy war, but I need to ask anyway... Why?
Can you elaborate on your preference to 1.1.3 over 1.1.4? I have 1.1.4 and am having some issues- which I attribute MOSTLY to age (my own- causing my desire to change less then it was in years past) & time (that which I need to put into learning OOo's in's & out's).
I'm still very curious as to your preference. Are features different or do you just find the earlier version generally more stable? It may be an irrelevant topic since OOo 2.0 is near release.
"Joe wrote: 1.1.4 is even better (but you might want to wait a few months
and go to 2.0 when it is released.)
Depending upon what you use OOo for, 1.1.3 can be better than 1.1.4.

[2] Are pre-orders of version 2.0 being taken somewhere? Where should we be
ordering the program in order to BEST promote the project?
[3] As I'm still having my Writer 1/2 size print problems, I have a 2-part question [sorry... 16years of medical retirement may have taken me out of law, doesn't take the law out of me...thus, my novella.]
Can you post the link to all the OOo lists? I have it in one of my MANY "OOo ref doc's" OOo File, but have SO many of these that I can't locate it. I want to determine to which list I should be posting specific questions.
While the OOo documentation is EXCELLENT and highly extensive, I'm from the old school of print references;
Can I get some feedback from others on additional recommended print/ online reference sources. I bought Mike Weber's OOo book with the 1.1.4 CD's, have most of the OOo documentation in a 3-ring NB, but I occasionally have more extensive questions and would like to research all possible solutions before posting my questions. Tho if learning something I think others would find beneficial, I surely add it to the list; I'd like to ensure that I'm using the appropriate list, however. In this case, I'm curious if version 2.0 will have a workbook or print reference available for purchase with the CD's, and if so if there will be one which would directly benefit the OOo project.
That's all.
Thanks in advance. louann [EMAIL PROTECTED]
