Welcome to OpenOffice 4 Dysart!

The purpose of this site is to help students and teachers learn how to use OpenOffice.

OpenOffice contains Writer, Calc, and Impress:

       Writer is compatible with Microsoft Word '03

       Calc is compatible with Microsoft Excel '03

       Impress is compatible with Microsoft Powerpoint '03

Things to Keep in Mind:

• When saving, items will be saved in '03 format (.doc, .xls, and .ppt).
• Will open '07 items, but some formatting is lost.
• Recommend saving items in '03 format if working on computers with '07.
