TO whom it may concern: It was my understanding that Open Office was a sort of 
stand in to Windows Word, in that I would be able to utilize Open Office 
spreadsheets similar to Excel and, in fact prior Excel files would be somewhat 
the same format that Open Office uses. Open Office spreadsheets would be 
interchangeable with Excel documents. Also Word and Open Office documents would 
also be interchangeable. 

I have spent a good amount of time trying to find out how this system works, 
and I have yet to even seen a document or spreadsheet or any other indications 
that Open Office is essentially totally compatible with Windows Word & Excel. I 
thought I would be able to  get right down and create my own spreadsheet or 
letter or other document. Instead what I have seen so far is nothing but text 
explaining various projects that users are engaged in. Are there two different 
Open Office Programs or am I missing something.

All I want is to be able to write letters and documents and use spreadsheets 
that are similar to and are the same as my Excel files.

Please explain
