OpenOffice.org Extensions to Try

Thanks to Bruce Byfield, we have other OpenOffice.org extensions to check out. He has recommended a bunch of them on More OpenOffice.org Extensions. His list includes the following:

• Last Session
  If you want to automatically show the last set of files you worked with on OpenOffice.org this is a precious extension you’d like to have. You just need to make sure you save that last session so that you could load it the next time you run OpenOffice.org. You can’t save multiple sessions though but that should be ok. Check out Last Session here.
• Tags for templates
  This extension can generate tags that you could have in the template so that you could easily locate them. It will look for the frequently used words and use them as keywords. Check out tags for templates here.

I also am taking a look at some extensions. Here are some of them:

• Compose special characters
  If you need to frequently use some special characters in your text, check this extension. It allows you to customize your keyboard shortcuts in order to do that. This extension works on Writer and Calc. This is something so useful for me since some names I have to write have special characters. Check out the compose special characters extension here.
• Sun Presenter Console
  Are you one who’s been showing presentations and wish that you have an idea what the next slide will be? The Sun Presenter Console might be the tool for you. You could see your notes, etc. but the audience only sees what’s in the actual presentation. Trainers, teachers and those who give out talks will find this quite useful.
