Running macros from key combinations

You can also define shortcut key combinations that will run macros.

These shortcut keys are strictly user-defined; none are built in. For

information on macros, see Chapter 13 (Getting started with macros)

in the Getting Started guide.

Adding functionality with extensions

An extension is a package that can be installed into OpenOffice.org to

add new functionality.

Although individual extensions can be found in different places, the

official OpenOffice.org extension repository is at

http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/. Some extensions are free of

charge; others are available for a fee. Check the descriptions to see

what licenses and fees apply to the ones that interest you.

Installing extensions

To install an extension, follow these steps:

1) Download an extension and save it anywhere on your computer.

2) In OOo, select Tools > Extension Manager from the menu bar.

In the Extension Manager dialog box (Figure 221), click Add.

3) A file browser window opens. Find and select the extension you

want to install and click Open. The extension begins installing.

You may be asked to accept a license agreement.

4) When the installation is complete, the extension is listed in the

Extension Manager dialog.

Tip

To get extensions that are listed in the repository, you can open

the Extension Manager and click the Get more extensions

here link.

Note

To install a shared extension, you need write access to the

OpenOffice.org installation directory.
