yeah, definitely looks like it needs at least a good editing, if not a full cleaning. I'll try to find the faq/documentation mailing list. I don't know whether its a major issue, but in my own inarticulate and inaccurate opinion if I thought I had to install two programs when MS has just one, that might be a factor not to go with OpenOffice (again, just my opinion).
