I think it would be fine.
For example, the section on Page Layout has exercises with images from
OOo that go over setting various aspects. It's in a 1 create ... 2
select ... 3 choose ... format and easy to see what to do. It is
followed with assignments 'Assignment 1.2 Create a document with 1.75
inch margins right and 2 inches left.' that would help the teacher.
Look here

to see the lab files.
