2.6 Opening or Creating Documents with OpenOffice.org

For creating and editing documents, NLD includes OpenOffice.org, a complete set of office tools that can both read and save Microsoft Office file formats. OpenOffice.org has a word processor, a spreadsheet, a drawing tool, and a presentation program. To get started, select one of the tools from the ProgramsOffice menu, or click the quick start icon () in the top panel to start OpenOffice.org Writer.

A number of sample documents and templates are included with OpenOffice.org. You can access the templates by clicking FileNewTemplates and Documents. In addition, you can use AutoPilot, a feature which guides you through the creation of letters and other typical documents.
