In addition to this wiki, there are many places to find documention and other information about using NeoOffice. Many of these resources are written for OpenOffice.org, but most of the time they apply equally as well to NeoOffice. When working with information about OpenOffice.org, remember to use the Command key in NeoOffice when the OpenOffice.org resource mentions the Control key.
Some articles or resources may only be available in certain languages; you may want to refer to the versions of this article written in one of the other languages listed at the bottom of the page. Resources specific to a particular module (Writer, Calc, Base, Macros, etc.) are more likely to be listed in the wiki pages dedicated to those modules than here.
