How to create headletter using openoffice 3.1

Suggest OpenOffice instead.

1) Anything generated on a computer with OpenOffice, can be used on a computer with MS Office.

2) Anything generated on a computer with MS Office, can be used on a computer with OpenOffice.

3) There is no 'learning curve'. The user interface of OpenOffice looks VERY close to MS Office.

4) It is F-R-E-E

(Told MS Office to....um, well..........and have been using OpenOffice since. More than 3 years ago. Tired of MS Office 'parlor tricks', and losing saved documents, (Try 3 years of tax papers)

Am I proficient with using an office program? Nope. Admit it. I am a computer hardware geek.
Still stand by OpenOffice though, because those who ARE proficient, say it is GOOD.

Just my 2cents, John.

Can do, it just costs money.
Microsoft Works is the program you're referring to.
It is a licensed paid for program.

To obtain it any other way than paying for it is Stealing.

NO, it would do you No good, if you are learning about MS Office in a school environment.
But you aren't going to download MS Office for free.
Just viruses, and the like.

It may not be practical to purchase a copy of Microsoft Office, depending on your financial situation. But you can use open-source software to open and edit spreadsheets, even files that were created in Excel.

You can use LibreOffice: http://www.libreoffice.org/
Or OpenOffice: http://www.openoffice.org/

If you don't want to pay for it then you have two options:
1. Use live.com. Microsoft office has free online versions of their office suite. Simply create a live.com account and anytime you have access to the internet you can use their web applications and download files you create from this website to any computer. You can also upload files to be worked on to the website and edit them.

2. Use OpenOffice.org. Its an alternative to Microsoft Office. It has similar applications and it can edit an save Microsoft Office files. You can get the suite from http://download.openoffice.org/.

I hope this helps!

What I was told, was that OpenOffice is compatible with other M/S Excel, except M/S Office7.

Good Luck.

=VLOOKUP(A2;Sheet1.$A$3:D27;2;0)

The cell I created this formula in was Sheet 3 Cell C9 - to show the different sheets
A2 is the cell I want to look up
Sheet1.A3:D27 is the range of cells that contains the data I want to return, The first column relates directly to cell C9 is Sheet 3. I locked the first cell in my range as I wanted to apply the same formula across other cells hence the $
2 is the number of the column that has the data I want to return, I had a choice in this formula of 4 columns
0 is the value to complete the formula
