The OpenOffice forum is here:

Subject: RE: DocBooks question

I have been curious about DocBook myself. Now you answered a basic
question of mine. Thanks. 

I have OpenOffice, which is a free and open source office suite (word
processor, database, presentation program, drawing program, spreadsheet)
and I think that it is kind of impressive. One feature of the suite is
that it will allow you to save in a DocBook format. I don't know how to
do this or what it means. I assume that it lets you set up a DocBook
system? Or create DocBook docs?  Jim Jones

When you say you're looking over options, it isn't clear what you mean.
Options for tools?  For Help formats?

>DocBooks open source program

DocBook isn't a software program.  It is an XML standard.  You would
still need to buy an authoring tool (XML editor) to create your Help
content.
