It was created by Don Knuth. LaTex is an implementation of that language. Open Office is a suite of tools that will do spread sheets, business graphics, and word processing. When you say Open Office, I assume you are referring to the word processing part of it. The word processor in Open Office is just that: a word processor. It does have some page layout capabilities, but it is not really a page layout program. Being based on MircoSoft Office, it does many of the same things MircoSoft Office does. Unfortunately, neither gives you any real control over how your page will be laid out. Office expects you to be a dummy who wants it to make all your layout decisions for you. Tex (or any other page layout system) expects you to know enough to make your own decisions about how and where to put each element on the page. This means that Tex is a little harder to learn than, e.g., Office, but it gives you much more control on how your page will look. . -- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.
