I love the tutorial video!!! Our organization will be converting to OpenOffice soon, and this is very helpful! At times, when I was reading the subtitles, I lost the location of the cursor or what you were trying to teach. Overall, I like the informal venue .. LOVE the laughter and the ability to give you feedback! I would give it a 7 out of 10.

Good show!


nice, but I prefer table. That would be better way, but its great to know about this method too

Very nice, I've been too lazy to find out and learn this, so it's perfect.

You need to explain your definition of "Paragraph." Will the tabs hold for the entire document or just until a paragraph break is made in the document? Also, why didn't you start the document by placing the tabs before you entered the text"

What a great teaching tool your video is. Many thanks for this most helpful info.

I think I learned how to create tabs with this video. I liked the video showing actual people working on list. It was a little fast and could use more description of where to go (or maybe there was a description and I missed it?). I've just started using Open Office, so I imagine this wouldn't be too fast for those familiar with the icons. I will try applying what I learned. Thank you for this.

Very nice way of tutorial!

Greetings from Germany, Thomas.


Hello Barbara and Daniel (and Horst) - great video! I like the use of the hand-held camera mixed with the screencasting, it is very good to see your faces whilst you format the text in OpenOffice Writer.

Keep up the good work!

Ian (co-founder)


Kudos and Thanks for Horst
