Ironically, I'm not sure I've tested my own site... It should be fine on most sites, especially those that have dynamical width (this one isn't, for instance). I'm not sure if this answers your OpenOffice question or not, but horizontal space hasn't been an issue. With the normal view in the word processor there's still enough real estate to show margins on the sides (and text is large and clear at 12 pts). Vertical space, however, is limited. In normal view in Writer, you can see ~4 inches of the document (going by the ruler), though I'm sure you could reclaim more by hiding toolbars. I haven't done anything in the presentation program and very little in the spreadsheet one, but the limited vertical space doesn't bother me when I'm writing. However, I'm not sure that would be the case if you're planning on doing presentations. Hope that helps. The resolution is 1024×600, so most sites play nicely in terms of horizontal space.

How about typing on OpenOffice? Can you see the full page view clearly enough to read the words and see the layout? Is it necessary to scroll to the right to view web pages in their entirety?
