You have installed Microsoft office xp but Microsoft Access does not open?
Try uninstalling and reinstalling your Access program. Some files may have been deleted or corrupted when you installed the new operating system (XP). Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove programs to do this. If this does not work, your Access program may need to be updated to a current version.
What benefits are associated with Apache OpenOffice?
The main benefit - is that it's open to improvement by you - the user ! End-users of OpenOffice are actively encouraged to improve the software, and submit those improvements for inclusion in future versions. You can even re-write the source-code if you're competent enough ! Microsoft absolutely refuses to allow the end-user to make any changes to their software - under threat of legal action if you do !
In my oppinnion - OpenOffice could(theoretically) sound the death-kinell for Microsoft office - if Microsoft doesn't change its ways. Why pay hundreds of pounds for Microsoft's office suite, which you're unable to tailor to your own needs - when you can download a free alternative which you can modify !
OpenOffice even has a forum where users can ask (and answer questions) - see related links for the official site, community forum and document templates.
Does OpenOffice have word art?

Writer which is equivalent to Microsoft Word. This is a word processor - desktop publisher. With writer you can save the file as a PDF file and have it open in Adobe Reader right from your document. Like Word this has autocorrect for spelling, text frames, and can email from the program itself. Calc is the same as Microsoft Excel. It features the same as excel does from Microsoft. This spreadsheet has some features that are not available in Excel, and again this can be exported to a PDF file without using and buying extra programs. Like Excel you can do charts, tables, use complex formulas, which are built in. Both programs have templates, different styles and backgrounds. Draw You can draw flowcharts, and many different designs. This can be used for desktop publishing it is similar to Microsoft Publisher. You are able to import different file types of photos. And with Draw, you can create a Flash version. They do have a gallery of clipart that you can choose from. Impress is for multimedia presentations similar to PowerPoint. Again, you can create PDF files, and you can download templates from the internet to use with this program. The Impress program will create 3D images and you can import .wav files for background sounds. This program also allows you to build a Flash presentation. Math -This program is a little complicated. With this program you can create math problems, and save as a photo and insert into cal or impress. It does math problems for you, but mostly its for writing the programs for other programs. Base - This will replace Microsoft Access. You can create databases with this software, and run reports from the databases. With Bas you can sort simple or complex columns. Do queries, and create reports from the database tables. It has wizards that will walk you through setting up queries, and table data just like Access does
Just continue to type. The default setting of both word processing applications is to automatically wrap text at the end of each line between the margins set for the page.

How do you get the percentage of a total. example 20 of 379 -formula for Open Office?
Divide the larger figure into the smaller one and format the result as a percentage. In its simplet form, the formula would be:

Doing it properly in a spreadsheet, you would put the two values into cells and then in the formula replace the values with the cells. Rounding to the nearest whole percent it is 5% in this case, or 5.28% if rounding to 2 decimal places.
