1 Introduction

This short guide is based on introductory courses I have been giving since 2008 to all first year

students at the Faculty of Social Work at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences. Parti-

cipants’ suggestions and criticisms have all been included as well as the results of many hours

spent with students formatting their thesis.

My aim is not to detail the numerous functions of Apache OpenOffice Writer, but simply to

focus on the typical real life situations of the student needing to format any lengthy docu-

ment, especially his or her bachelor or master thesis.

The most common procedures for your daily work are all contained in section 50 “Basic Prac-

tice“. I would recommend you do this exercise right now in order to get a feeling for the pro-

gramme. You will soon discover how easy it is to use. Afterwards please come back and read

on from here.

Note: Make sure to read the entire guide in sequence so as to obtain a proper overview of the pro-

gramme. The various sections build one upon the other so it’s useless trying to jump directly

to those parts you feel might come in handy.
