Loading a saved keyboard configuration

To load a saved keyboard configuration file and replace your existing

configuration, click the Load button near the bottom right of the

Customize dialog, and then select the configuration file from the Load

Keyboard Configuration dialog.

Resetting the shortcut keys

To reset all of the keyboard shortcuts to their default values, click the

Reset button near the bottom right of the Customize dialog. Use this

feature with care as no confirmation dialog will be displayed; the

defaults will be set without any further notice or user input.

Assigning macros to events

In OOo, when something happens, we say that an event occured. For

example, a document was opened, a key was pressed, or the mouse

moved. You can associate a macro with an event, so the macro is run

when the event occurs. For example, a common use is to assign the

“open document” event to run a macro that performs certain setup

tasks for the document.

To associate a macro with an event, use the Events page of the

Customize dialog. For more information, see Chapter 13 (Getting

Started with Macros).

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.
