Hello Writer of books
OpenOffice.org can save your files in Word, but that is the end process.
You wanted to use OOo for writing books, etc. Ever hear of Piers Anthony?
He writes 4-5 books a year and he used OpenOffice.org on Linux to write
them.
He gave up Word a long time ago and has been using OOo since it came out, so
his Author's notes and e-newsletter states.
I do not know about other authors who use OOo, but he does and he is very
picky
on what he uses. He has even writen many macos to help do specific things
that make his creativity and editing flow better. Being over 70 and writer
of over 100 books (so I have been told), he know his stuff. He would not
use it
if it was not the best software for him.
It has been years since I heard anything about Quark and I do not know who
owns that software any more.
Give OOo a try. Look into the Macos that have been listed online.
ALWAYS us the Autorecovery options in the Load/Save Options section.
Find and contact the many Print on Demand companies and see what they
want. DO NOT sign up with any of them untill you have read Piers Anthony's
articles about these companies (publishing on the web at hipiers.com )
Good luck with your efforts.

Subject: [users] Publishing from Open Office
Hello... I am a writer and I'd like to know if Open Office is right for
me. I send my books in manuscript (document) form to publishers for
editing and publishing. If you're familiar with the publishing world,
then you know that editors must be able to make changes to the documents
they receive before they are published as books. Does Open Office do
everything that, for instance. Microsoft Word does? A lot of editors use
Word or Quark and require that authors use a specified software when
sending their work in for publication. I would like to use Open Office if
editors and publishing houses can work with the result. Thank you,Linda
