It was actually kind of fun -- we haven't been snowed in this bad in quite a while, and being forced to just stay home once in a while is nice. (And I only got one blister from the shoveling. ;> )

Hi Kevin,

Great to see you're linking to the Starving Student CD. I looked at the UB Educational Technology Center and didn't see references to OpenOffice.org as a technology option. Are they by any chance offering OpenOffice.org CDs or classes to students?

Thanks,
Solveig

Re: How to Save Any File as a PDF File

CutePDF is a great program.

You can also install OpenOffice.org on your computer, open your .doc file, .xls file, any Microsoft file, or most other files, and use OpenOffice.org's "Print to PDF" button.

I think the videos are an excellent idea, kudos to the team.

OpenOffice.org has been around for years of course, under the name StarOffice, so there are many books and online resources, as well.

Also, if you're considering OpenOffice.org, don't overlook the option of just downloading the product from www.openoffice.org and installing the
software. And it's totally free, of course. There's no problem with installing OpenOffice.org on the same machine with Microsoft Office or another office suite. (No conflict with other software period, as far as I know.) It of course runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Solaris, OS/2, and more.

Anyone who's used an office suite will be able to play around with OpenOffice.org and do simple tasks immediately. There's also a lot of online help.

Hi,

I'm so glad you posted on this! I have a blog that outlines the whole process. Step by step, how to do the links, create the PDF, etc.

I also have a blog on the batch convert-to-PDF feature in OpenOffice.org.
