Yes - I have gOS and looked that up again to check that it hadn't changed, but I did not look up Everex.
Having now done so, I find that it says that the OS is "based on" gOS, rather than "is" gOS, which no doubt explains the differences. However, the version of OpenOffice.org may well also not be standard. An Everex help site might be more useful than this one in establishing what the differences are.

The word processor supplied with gOS is Google Docs. This is an on-line word processor and can be accessed from any computer provided that you have a compatible browser, since it is accessed by browser. I have never used it, but it does not surprise me that it is apparently not identical to OpenOffice.org. It would surprise me if it were identical. You might be able to install OpenOffice.org, but there may be constraints which make it difficult or impossible on this Distro, which is a derivative of Ubuntu. Alternatively, it would probably be possible to install another Linux Distro instead, many of which have OpenOffice.org as standard. There might however be hardware issues. Or you could just give in gracefully and use Google Docs. This would be usable from any of your computers, provided that you have them connected to the Internet and have Firefox, Seamonkey or IE installed; and all your documents would be stored on-line. Much, if not most, of the software on gOS is Google not computer based. I am sending this to you personally, as well as to the list, because you appear not to be subscribed.
