The new Office -- worth it?

I’m trying Open Office and I like it. There’s something specific I need to do with importing some information from the spreadsheet into the word processor. Can anyone help with this? I’ve posted about it in my “card index” thread over here:

[Edit: Problem solved thanks to Taffy. And while trying his suggestion I noticed that at least in some cases OO’s menu selections are less cluttered and easier to use than those of MS Office.]
