Abstract

Mandriva Linux can be used to perform office work with the OpenOffice.org office suite: we show you how to write documents with OpenOffice.org Writer, spreadsheets with OpenOffice.org Calc and presentations with OpenOffice.org Impress. OpenOffice.org tools are Microsoft® Office-compatible, meaning that you can easily exchange documents between them. We also show you how to print and send faxes from applications.

[Tip] Tip

 With OpenOffice.org, you can export your documents in PDF format (choosing File → Export as PDF from the menu). This allows you to publish your documents in the Adobe® Reader® format.
