yes.  maybe choose scenario occurs readers can relate task being described.

blitzprog wrote:2.) can use screenshots in document.

yes.  not "tell thousand words", give reader visual check on doing.  can reader "preview" outcome of procedure making easier reader select right procedure task facing.  careful not overwhelm reader many screenshots though.  don't need screenshot every single step or keystroke.

yes, openoffice format ideal.
