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.

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!
