has no help. Can someone be so kind as to
explain how to get help for Openoffice?

There are packages called openoffice.org-help-NN (NN as in language
code) which you need to install separately.

wouldn't it be more reasonable to switch to openoffice 2.0 than using 1.1?

| Not really. A bright example of Oo 2.0 behaviour: it couldn't open a
pretty important ppt presentation today - no it wasn't garbled text or
whatever junk Oo 1.1 managed to display, it simply threw an error
message and died. Bad, bad OpenOffice... or is that the ppt format who
is bad?

I think so.
I can't imagine ppts being not opened w/ the newer version. OOo did
*really* improve itself from 1.1 to 2.0. It's like a completely new
application. I love it and can open every single Word-Document.
Well sometimes the text is somewhat messed up, but readable everytime...

| Imagine or not, it did. I wasn't quite happy as a result; neither was
my supervisor of studies who needed me to work on it asap. And in
general, I prefer to write HTML when I need rich text formatting and
such. When I say "write", I mean that I really create it all by myself
- partly because all the HTML code generators I have seen, including
the OOo one, are really *awful* .
Actually, I'm not assaulting OOo - I still have it installed for "just
in case", because for my rare uses of office tools it is more than
sufficient [this recent case omitted...]. However, it is not perfect -
and we have to admit that. And as always, there is Microsoft to blame ;)

| I am using testing, as soon as I do apt-get upgrade
and OO 2.0 is there, I will be using it.
