OpenOffice.org 3.2 User Guides

User guides updated for Apache OpenOffice 3.3 are on a separate page.

The OpenOffice.org 3.2 guides are presented in chapters for easy use. These files are designed for onscreen viewing, two pages at a time (two-up). Your PDF viewer should have an option for printing two-up, but you may need to start with page 2 to get the facing pages to come out correctly.

Most chapters are also available here in wiki format, and editable files (ODT) can be downloaded from this page.
