I’ve just finished producing a series for ShowMeDo (I co-founded ShowMeDo in 2005) for OpenOffice Writer users.  In OpenOffice 3.1 Writer for Microsoft Word users I spend 45 minutes covering 11 topics for the new Writer user aimed at easing their transition across from MS Office:

1. Series Overview in 4 minutes (OpenOffice 3.1 for Word users)
2. Installing OpenOffice 3.1 on Windows XP
3. Working with Word (.doc) files
4. Working with an OpenDocument Format (.odt) file
5. Help! Manuals, Forums and Mail lists
6. Basic Formatting (bold, italic etc)
7. Exporting to PDF, HTML, MediaWiki
8. Printing
9. Word-completion
10. Find and Replace, Undo
11. Spell Checker

I’ve authored over 130 tutorial videos at ShowMeDo (see Ian’s author page) and the majority of the videos in the Club (which generates ShowMeDo’s income) were researched, scripted and recorded by me.

If you want to learn Python or OpenOffice then do take a look at ShowMeDo, there are over 1,000 tutorial videos (the majority are free, produced by our community) covering all sorts of open-source topics.
