Adding functionality with extensions
A wide range of additional functions can be added to OpenOffice.org by installing extensions.
Some dictionary extensions (English, French, and Spanish) are provided with OpenOffice.org.
Other dictionaries, and many other extensions, are available for download from the
OpenOffice.org extension repository, http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/. Not all
extensions are available for all operating systems.
Some extensions are free of charge. Others are fee based. Check the descriptions to see what
licenses and fees apply to the ones that interest you.
To install an extension:
1. Download the extension and save it anywhere on your computer.
2. In OpenOffice.org, choose Tools > Extension Manager from the menu bar. In the
Extension Manager dialog, click Add.
3. 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.
Updating OpenOffice.org
During installation you could choose whether to have OpenOffice.org check automatically for
updates to the program. You can also make or change this choice from within OpenOffice.org by
choosing Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Online Update, and you can check for updates at
any time by choosing Help > Check for Updates.
When OpenOffice.org checks for updates, it warns of updates to installed extensions (such as
dictionaries) as well as to the program itself.
