INTRODUCTION
Welcome to OpenOffice WRITER, the word processing application used by companies and individuals. OpenOffice is a complete office suite. You can download it at the following address: https://www.openoffice.org. The software is available on many platforms.
At the time of writing this book (under Mac), the latest stable version is 4.1.12. As changes appear from time to time, do not forget to check the current version.
OpenOffice contains other modules, such as the spreadsheet CALC, the slide presentation IMPRESS, the database management BASE and the programming BASIC language with which you can program macros and customized applications.
Let me convince you that this word processing is actually very easy to use. The important point is to master the text layouts, the styles and the use of different tools.
Because the software is free, you can install it on many computers.
