To follow the tutorials you will need to install the FREE office suite called OpenOffice 3. If you haven't already got it, download the program HERE. I've put together a quick quide outlining the download and installation process. Click here for instructions.
Once installed, OpenOffice will place this icon
on your desktop. Double click the icon to start the program.
If you are running Windows XP or another operating system rather than Windows Vista, some of the images in my tutorial may not be exactly the same as those you will see on your machine. However the differences will be minimal and the turorials will be easy to follow no matter what operating system you are using.
