When was the last time you read an office
productivity guide that details how to create a
personal balance sheet while explaining how an
individual with significant property holdings and
income could have financial difficulties? Or how to
create queries and reports to analyze data within a
database while examining the most intense and costly
hurricanes to strike the North Atlantic in the past
100 years? Or how to create a bi-fold brochure
containing beautiful images while discovering
national treasures like the Blue Ridge Parkway? Or
even provides a list of additional resources to
encourage the reader to pursue learning even further
beyond the lessons provided?
A Conceptual Guide to OpenOffice.org 2 was written by
an educator who is as passionate about lifelong
learning as he is of the software applications he
uses and teaches. The book includes ten hands-on
lessons that walk users step-by-step through the
creation of various documents using the open source
office suite. For users who wish to find specific
instructions quickly and easily, four quick reference
guides are also provided for each of the major
applications bundled with OpenOffice.org 2.
Free yourself from license keys, product activations
and costly upgrades for a productive office suite
while discovering new places and learning lifelong
skills. Read A Conceptual Guide to OpenOffice.org 2
for Windows and Linux and discover why it isn't your
typical computer software instructional guide.
Internet access is required to download the necessary
lesson files and free OpenOffice.org
software.
“The Conceptual Guide book is a clear and well-laid out resource for anyone who wants to learn the effective use of the software application. I recommend it without reservation to schools, training organizations and individuals.”
- Ian Lynch, The Learning Machine, Ltd. and INGOTs Office Productivity Certification Project Lead, England, UK
"This Guide is definitely a Classic! My learning experience has been down right fun. A great tool and reference for the student, the instructor, and the business person looking to save money, work smarter, learn something new, or just plain enjoy learning! Gurley is definitely an educator bent on motivating!"
