Thanks again.

They are all equivalents and are virtually functionally identical

Writer = Word (*.doc files)
Calc = Excel (*.xls files)
Impress = PowerPoint (*.ppt files)
Base = Access

With the exception of Base all the programs will open and save to their Microsoft office equivalents and writer will also save to PDF files too (something Microsoft have only just got round to doing)

There is also loads of help on the website if you get stuck on anything support: OpenOffice.org Support

...but I'll still be here too

Thanks!!! It's all there. Shouldn't you be slamming tequilas in a pub somewhere? Is that you in your avatar? If I ever see you on the VERY rare occassions I get out, I'll buy you a drink (or two!). My husband's going to be so impressed when he returns from his business trip and I can say, "Hey, look what I've done." Thanks again.

It is me yes.

Tend to go out later in the evening and was slamming pints - really should grow up and not succumb to peer pressure

"Slamming Pints", that's cos your a good ol' Northerner mate! I had the impression I would be slowing down on pint slamming when I arrive over there but I doubt it somehow...

There's plenty of opportunity for pint slamming here, I doubt you'll be slowing down either!
