I was not aware of the revised tutorial that was published in mid 2007 that indeed does have at least a chapter devoted to Math. I guess I had more or less given up by then. I have been to several OOo user group forums and have not found the information that I need on a level that I can relate to and understand. I was just made aware of _this_ user group a couple of days ago and now I am here still wishing to "get a grip" on the product. You must understand that I am anything but a fan of Microsoft in general and my search for an alternative to Office is what brought me to OOo 3 or 4 years ago. I have the new tutorial bookmarked and I will begin perusing it and see what I can get from it. You are correct that "old habits are hard to break" is certainly a factor in my difficulties with OOo. Been using Office a long time. Can you give me tips to make a transition to OOo easier, other than the revised tutorial? Thank you. John

Well, for starters, don't suddenly appear here attacking it, without making some attempt to ask for help. Much info can be found here: http://documentation.openoffice.org On the same link where that Math chapter is found, there is also a migration guide, along with others for Writer, Calc etc. You can also buy an OpenOffice guide book here: http://www.openoffice.blogs.com/ And you can also ask on this list. Also, OpenOffice has changed a lot in 3 -4 years.
