Hi Khen,
I happily use OpenOffice these days for my duties as Secretary of my
Lodge. It is great, deals with all of the stuff that I inherited from
the M$office user who was Secretary before me, & should have no hassle
handing it on to the next Secretary. except the database :(
As a multi-platform user I generally use the stuff that is common, like
<ALT-whatever> right-click & the like.
