Opening graphic files

In addition to OpenDocument formats (.odg and otg), Draw 3 can open the formats used by OOo 1.x (.sxd and std) and the following graphic formats:

Opening formula files

In addition to OpenDocument Formula (.odf) files, Math 3 can open the format used by OOo 1.x (.sxm), StarMath, (.smf), and MathML (.mml) files.

When opening a Word document that contains an embedded equation

editor object, if the option for it is checked in Tools > Options >

Load/Save > Microsoft Office, the object will be automatically

converted to an OpenOffice.org Math object.

File formats OOo can save to

Saving in an OpenDocument format guarantees the correct rendering

of the file when it is transferred to another person or when the file is re-opened with a later version of OpenOffice.org It is strongly

recommended that you use ODF as default file format However, you can save files in other formats, if you wish.

Tip

When sharing a document that you do not expect or want the recipient to modify, the safest option is to convert the document

to PDF OOo provides a very straightforward way to convert documents to PDF

Frequently asked questions

Is this software a “demo”

version? No, this is a fully functioning software suite. May I distribute OOo to

How many computers may I

install it on? As many as you like.

May I use OpenOffice.org in

Is OpenOffice available in my

language? OpenOffice.org has been translated (localized) into over 40 languages, so your

language probably is supported Additionally,

there are over 70 spelling, hyphenation, and thesaurus dictionaries available for

languages, and dialects that do not have a localized program interface The dictionaries are available from the OpenOffice.org

website at:

http://lingucomponent.openoffice.org/downlo ad_dictionary.html

How can you make it for

free? A large share of the development, and much of the support for the project, is currently

supplied or sponsored by Sun Microsystems There are also many other people who work

on OOo as volunteers

What if I need technical

support? Read the section titled “How to get help” in Chapter 1 (Introducting OpenOffice.org) Who owns the software? The copyright is shared by Sun Microsystems

and all the volunteers who have contributed Does that mean that they can

take away the software? No The licenses under which OOo is developed and distributed can never be

revoked, so it cannot be taken away

I am writing a software

application May I use

programming code from

OpenOffice.org in my

program?

You may, within the parameters set in the LGPL Read the license:

http://www.openoffice.org/license.html

Why is my favorite feature

from StarOffice not available

in OOo?

That feature is probably a third-party add-on that Sun cannot distribute with

OpenOffice.org

Why do I need Java to run

OOo? Is it written in Java? OpenOffice.org is not written in Java; it is written in the C++ language Java is one of

several languages that can be used to extend OOo The Java JDK/JRE is only required for some features The most notable one is the HSQLDB relational database engine

Note: Java is available at no cost If you don't want to use Java, you can still use nearly all

of the features of OOo

How can I contribute to

OpenOffice.org? You can help with the development of OOo in many ways, and you do not need to be a

programmer To start, check out this webpage:

http://www.openoffice.org/contributing.html What’s the catch? There really is none; you can read the

licenses here:
