PDF Creation Software
Where to find a freely available PDF creator...
Unfortunately the help file for the OpenOffice.org Writer is not very easy to understand...
This means the OpenOffice.org PDF creator was pretty much only available to very experienced users, until now!
I got really frustrated with the obscure help instructions, and wrote my own step-by-step instructions which I never really meant to publish, until I saw the number of times people were posting for help on various forums.

Outstanding lens Colin. But not as great as your book. It is a must have for all beginners in Open Office and for experienced users as well. There is always something more to learn and that is certainly true for your helpful manual.
Looking forward to using it until it is "dog-eared" and recommending it to others.
