flowchart?

flowcharts are good since you practically make the code when you make one.

Oh boy these things can be a pain.

 

1) Always remember to do things in sequence.

2) Make shure they follow logical input and output processes.

3) Make shure you know what you want at the end otherwise you'll just end up changing it over and over...

 

OpenOffice.org - I don't ever use Office so I would not reccomend it

all of the suggestions above are correct.

there is no absolute correct way but i do recommand you hit up some software engineering books\sites.

 

I would certianly make use of MS project, UML, flow charts, and all that stuff. But you do need to undrstand software development life cycle.
