From the Author
I'm delighted to be able to publish this book. It's a combination of topics that I've learned are the most important to people, gathered from four years of training, of questions and discussions in my blog, and from my own use of the product. The most important thing about a book is not to simply document how the software works, but to teach people how to do their jobs, using the software. That is my goal with the OpenOffice.org Guidebook.
Note: This book replaces the OpenOffice.org 2 Resource Kit. That is the title given to it by Prentice Hall. I am self-publishing the book, and have renamed it as the OpenOffice.org 2 Guidebook, a name I think is more representative of my goal to guide users through the most important and useful parts of the software.
