The OOoAuthors project has recently released the OpenOffice.org 3 Writer Guide at Lulu.com. At $20 for a 552-page manual, it’s a bargain on a thorough, well-researched and carefully-edited book produced by volunteer writers from the global community of OpenOffice users.

The manual covers, in part, “setting up Writer to suit the way you work;using styles and templates; working with text, graphics, tables, and forms; formatting pages (page styles, columns, frames, sections, and tables); printing and mail merge; creating tables of contents, indexes, and bibliographies; using master documents, fields, and the equation editor (Math); creating PDFs; and more.”

Free PDFs of the same content are available for download at the OOo Documentation Project site. To download ODFs of the documentation that you can edit, or to participate in writing more documentation, start at the OOoAuthors project site.
