[Tfug] OpenOffice annoyances

[Earl]

Claude, 

I'm using AbiWord on Etch to work on some of my legacy Word documents and it seems to work OK so far.  I just opened it and is shows up on my FVWM pager.  I don't know much else about it, how it handles revisions, etc.  It seems stable which is an improvement over previous versions.  My docs are simple though and not very large.

I find myself using OpenOffice more and more in order to collaborate
with MS Word users.  And I'm running into a lot of annoyances: e.g., I
don't like the default keybindings, the bullets toolbar acts as if it
were pinned to the desktop, OOo windows don't show up in FVWM's pager.
There are probably others but these are the big ones that I ran into
today.

I'm wondering if anybody who has had more experience with OOo can
point me toward a good resource (online docs, dead trees, a decent
forum, etc) for customizing OOo and/or dealing with its quirks.  This
is definitely a time when I'd prefer something simple, as I'm not
using OOo so much that I actually want to learn it--just fix it.

Thanks,

Claude
