    About this ebook

    Since I published the first edition of this book LibreOffice has replaced OpenOffice in all the Linux distributions I'm aware of. The new edition reflects this change. There has also been a new edition of the Smashwords Style Guide and this has required a little renumbering of sections in the book to maintain the correspondence. I've made a number of other changes in the text to improve it and, I hope, increase its usefulness to readers. As always, I am grateful for feedback to improve it still further.

    Why is this book free? Because I'm a supporter of Free Software, especially OpenBSD, and want to help as many people as possible to use it.

    Anthony Campbell

    Professionally, I am a conventionally qualified medical doctor who has experience of some kinds of alternative medicine, but I am a self-confessed generalist and have written on subjects unrelated to medicine. In so far as there is a unifying theme in these books, it is sceptical and describes the progressive questioning and ultimate abandonment of belief systems. This emerges in my two books on religion and also in my critical account of the origin and development of homeopathy. My historical study of the sect of the Assassins is an examination of a fascinating set of religious ideas in mediaeval Islam, with relevance to modern religion-inspired terrorism. Although I am now retired from clinical practice I continue to teach modern medical acupuncture to health professionals. My textbook for the courses I teach is available here. I'm interested in computers and used Linux as my operating system for many years. I've now switched almost completely to OpenBSD. My book Making Word.doc Files on Linux covers how to do this for both Linux and *BSD.

      Review of the First Edition

      I want to thank you for writing an excellent primer for those of us using Linux (in my case, Ubuntu) on how to successfully publish on Smashwords. My own book successfully made it to the Premium Catalog on the first try. Your explanations and visuals were clear, concise, and right on point. What I also liked was that you kept your content relevant and didn't overburden the reader with unnecessary details. Thank you, again. You made it so much easier for me!
