Hello openoffice.org:

I have several questions about your product. As I understand, this is very
similar to Microsoft Office 2003 in that it includes a word-processing
application, an Excel-like application, a PowerPoint-like application and
some other apps. Am I right?

Also, how much space with OpenOffice take up on my computer?

And lastly, if I'm right in understanding that one of the apps is a
Microsoft Word-like app,
Yes

then does it save files as .doc files like
Microsoft Word,
Yes

and if it doesn't, then can the files saved with OpenOffice
be opened with Microsoft Word?
Yes--can save in RTF format that Word understands.

However, if you go weird with formatting in one program (mix auto bullet lists with manually formatted bullets, paste tables into cells of other tables, etc.) the appearance will probably change some when opened with the other program.
