Writers Tools for Open Office


If you prefer Open Office over Microsoft Office you might find the following plugin for Open Office useful. The so called Writers Tools for Open Office are a set of new functions that are added as a new menu in the software.

The new functions add several new possibilities to Open Office that users normally do manually. Among them are a word lookup tool using several dictionary websites, a backup function (email, remote, multi form), Google Translate, a map lookup, two writers templates, a word game and several others.

To install the plugin you need to click on Tools > Extension Manager in Open Office and click on the Add button in the My Extensions screen. Then simply navigate to the downloaded plugin and select it.

    Think it’s time to leave my trusty Word 97 behind… Seems there are tons of Open Office plug ins…

    What a relief! Open Office here and these writers tools are nifty – as well as all the other OO features. No More Word of Gates!. Office 2003 began to burble and shimmer and had to go. Me, I’m a writer, that’s serious! Percolators burble coffee, not word processors. Then I discovered a legal licensed Word 97 (best version ever gnome, but yes all those plugins!). But the deleted 2003 had left a ghost behind. Any MS installation now is temperamental here (I’m sure you guys at gHacks know what’s going on, I’m just a newt nitwit. Thanks for the site, it’s great!
