The user documentation is being worked on the wiki, so after you read the intro-doc page linked by Alexandro, please look at where the draft for the 4.0 user guide is growing: http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide (there is a link to the "status page" at the end). There are several missing pages and holes on the existing ones, but an easy start would be to proofread the existing pages and check the information for "accuracy". Clearly, writing an user guide implies not only writing skills but also knowledge of the software: if you have doubts about how Apache OpenOffice works, just ask! Note that this guide is aimed to AOO 4.0, so there are instructions on the guide that do not completely correspond to the stable builds (like "menu Tools → Options → Apache OpenOffice": on 3.4.1 you'll find "OpenOffice.org" there). You can find development builds for 4.0 here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Development+Snapshot+Builds#DevelopmentSnapshotBuilds-AOOSnapshotfullsets Regards Ricardo > > Caroline >
