Enter text in the document window as desired. Use the Formatting toolbar or the Format
menu to adjust the appearance of the document. Use the File menu or the relevant buttons
in the toolbar to print and save your document. With the options under Insert, add extra
items to your document, such as a table, picture, or chart.
3.2.2 Sharing Documents with Other Word
Processors
You can use Writer to edit documents created in a variety of other word processors.
For example, you can import a Microsoft Word document, edit it, and save it again as
a Word document. Most Word documents can be imported into OpenOffice.org without
any problem. Formatting, fonts, and all other aspects of the document remain intact.
However, some very complex documents—such as documents containing complicated
tables, Word macros, or unusual fonts or formatting—might require some editing after
being imported. OpenOffice.org can also save in many popular word processing formats.
Likewise, documents created in OpenOffice.org and saved as Word files can be opened
in Microsoft Word without any trouble.
