The OpenOffice.org Guidebook for OpenOffice.org 2 and StarOffice 8 is the ultimate insider's guide to learning to use and love the office suite.

Rating:  - dissapointed
more real life examples and useful lessons needed for this, not the type of book I would recommend for a structured / class type learning environment. Over priced for the value received. Anyone want to buy a used door stop?
Rating:  - No longer fighting with OO
Before I received this book I was using OO writer and calc in my business and although pleased with it, I'd inevitably wind up fighting with certain automatic settings like numbering or page styles or paragraph formatting and rather than relying on OO's formating capabilities I'd muddled through and hand forced the formatting the way I thought it should come out.

Rating: - OpenOffice.org guidebook
This book fulfils a huge need we had! For all sorts of reasons we ended up with two PCs with OpenOffice.org on them, one running windows XP and one running Ubuntu. So this book is teaching us all the tips and tricks we need to know to get the best out of this suite in two totally different environments.
Rating: - Above All, A Practical Guide
'Practicality' describes this book best. It is full of useful tips for situations that arise in 'real work.' It is not an academic or theoretical treatise, nor is it a true 'manual' in the sense of feeling the need to describe every option in every drop-down box.

Rating:  - Good book to get started with OO
This is a good book to get started with using Open Office. Most of the things I do involve Spreadsheets and some word processing stuff. I recently decided to try and use Open Office exclusively and so far (about 2 months) have had very little trouble doing this. The book has been a help and lead me to try some things that I hadn't even thought of before. I would recommend this book for others who are thinking about trying Open Office.
