Open Office is good for creating and opening word processor documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and a few other common office tasks. Notably missing is an email and calender application. I personally use the Kontact PIM suite, but as you are using Windows you cannot use it. You can think of Open Office's major components as counterparts to the major components of MS Office: OOo Writer is similar to MS Word, OOo Calc is similar to MS Excel, and OOo Impress is similar to MS Powerpoint. Also, I suggest that you send replies to the mailing list ([email protected]) and not to me. That way, everybody can help you, not just me! I am not a representative of Open Office, just a regular user like yourself. I subscribe to the mailing list to help people, just like they help you and me. I am CCing this message to the mailing list.

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
