If you want to fly with OpenOffice 3.0, publish to your local wiki, create web presentations, or add maps to your documents, Beginning OpenOffice 3 is the book for you. You will arm yourself with new OpenOffice.org 3.0 tools, from creating wiki docs to automating complex design steps. OpenOffice has been downloaded almost 100 million times, and this is the book that explains why. * You learn how to adopt OpenOffice 3.0 innovations. * You see how to work across Windows, OS X, Google, and the Web, no matter what the format. * Mail merges and wiki docs will never seem so simple.
I'm a writer and editor working full time for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. I've worked in publishers, newspapers, universities and fields and am interested in pretty much everything except for football and country dancing.
Useful, but still not up to the level of the books I'm used to seeing from Cybex and Que about Windows and MS Office. I'm still learning my way around OpenOffice, though, so this one is parked next to the computer and will no doubt pay for itself many times over in time and frustration avoided.
