If you are using Word and need support then you need to go to a Microsoft support group. If you are using Writer, which is the word processor component of OpenOffice, then a) A new blank document should open when you run Writer. b) You can ask for a "text document" from the menu you get when you right click on the Quickstarter icon (grey with 2 flying birds and, if you are using Windows, in the System Tray near the clock) c) In Writer, or any of the other components, pick the type of document you want from the File>New menu. A word processor document is refered to as "text". OpenOffice has components that correspond to those in MS Office: MS Office OpenOffice Word Writer Excel Calc PowerPoint Impress Access Base OpenOffice also has Draw for drawings and Math for laying out complex mathematical formulae using specialised symbols.
