Q. My sister needs an office suite for work but, it has to work with popular windows documents. [such as files made in excel, or word, would they be readable in open office? and can you create word and excel documents with openoffice?] Also is it possible to use open office on a windows 2000 operating system.
A. Open Office is reputed to be totally compatible with MS Office. Here is what I have on it.
Free OpenOffice â Word Processing Comparable to MS Word, CALC, similar to Excel, Impress â comparable to Powerpoint.

Open Office is a free Offfice Suite which has proven to be an alternatvie to Microsoft Office except for one thing that I mentioned, it's FREE. There are many other sites dedicated to Open Office and even those that offer Open Office Tutorials.
OpenOffice.org is a collection of different applications that work together closely to provide the features expected from a modern office suite. Many of the components are designed to mirror those available in Microsoft Office. The components available include:
Writer â a word processor similar in look and feel to Microsoft Word and offering a comparable range of functions and tools. It also includes the ability to export Portable Document Format (PDF) files with no additional software, and can also function as a WYSIWYG editor for creating and editing web pages. One important difference between Writer and Microsoft Word is that in Writer, many functions and number formats from Calc (below) are available in Writer's tables. Another difference is that in Writer, automatic save is off by default.
Calc â a spreadsheet similar to Microsoft Excel with a roughly equivalent range of features. Calc provides a number of features not present in Excel, including a system which automatically defines series for graphing, based on the layout of the user's data. Calc is also capable of writing spreadsheets directly as a PDF file.
Impress â a presentation program similar to Microsoft PowerPoint. It can export presentations to Adobe Flash (SWF) files allowing them to be played on any computer with the Flash player installed. It also includes the ability to create PDF files. Impress suffers from a lack of ready-made presentation designs. However, templates are readily available on the Internet.[6]
Base â a database program similar to Microsoft Access. Base allows the creation and manipulation of databases, and the building of forms and reports to provide easy access to data for end-users. As with Access, Base is able to work as a front-end to a number of different database systems, including Access databases (JET), ODBC data sources and
MySQL/PostgreSQL. Base became part of the suite starting with version 2.0.
Draw â a vector graphics editor comparable in features to CorelDRAW. It features versatile "connectors" between shapes, which are available in a range of line styles and facilitate building drawings such as flowcharts.
Math â a tool for creating and editing mathematical formulae, similar to Microsoft Equation Editor. Formulae can be embedded inside other OpenOffice.org documents, such as those created by Writer. It supports multiple fonts and can export to PDF.
QuickStarter â a small program for Windows and Linux that runs when the computer starts for the first time. It loads the core files and libraries for OpenOffice.org during computer startup and allows the suite applications to start more quickly when selected later. The amount of time it takes to open OpenOffice.org applications was a common complaint in version 1.0 of the suite, and Quickstarter was a solution of sorts. Substantial improvements were made in this area for version 2.0.

A. Try this to backup you PC to another device and then reinstall windows from your system disks. You will need to boot from the cd you burned (either by hitting F12 and then choosing CD or DVD on the menu that appears on startup a few times or changing the Bios boot option to boot from cd/dvd first)

Also, in the future it isn't a bad idea to make your computer into a dual boot Windows/Ubuntu for easy backup, Plus you can avoid viruses/spyware by using Ubuntu to connect to the Internet.. If you have less than 384mb, try Xubuntu, less than 192mb try PCLinux TinyMe or Vector Linux.

what software can i get to make animations/ cartoon videos ?
Q. like if i wanted to make a cartoon what software do i need.
A. Some of the better commercial programs such as Digicel Flipbook, Toon Boom, TVPaint, TAB, and PAP, have Student or Express versions that are fairly inexpensive. However, you might be disappointed by how crippled these stripped down programs are compared to their more expensive Pro versions. But if you look hard enough you should be able to find them cracked online (rap idshare, bitt orrent). There are some free alternatives.
If you're doing old school drawn on paper frame by frame stuff or stop-motion or 2D, I'd suggest MonkeyJam. It's free.

If you're on a Mac, use Pencil(there's PC and Linux versions as well).
http://www.les-stooges.org/pascal/pencil/index.php
If you want to do Flash animation like the stuff on Newgrounds.com, either break down and buy Adobe Flash or you can try Creatoon or Synfig, which are free. They're not Flash, but they also do vector based symbol oriented animation with tweening.

Here are some online resources about the basic principles of animation.
