โอเพน ออฟฟิศ – Open Office

If some fonts aren’t displaying as expected when you open a document in Open-Office, you should check if you have them installed on your device.

Here is how you can check that:
•   Click start on your desktop
•   Type in “Control Panel” and find “Fonts”
•   Check the list of installed fonts
•   If the font you are using isn’t installed, download and install it from the internet
•   Open the file once again, and the letters should load correctly

Open Office allows you to convert multiple PDF documents at once by using the batch converter macro feature.

Here is how you find it:
•   Open Open Office and find “File” in the menu
•   Select “Export as PDF”
•   Select the files you want to export and they will change from the standard OpenOffice.org to PDF files

OpenOffice has a built-in word counter tool that shows you the number of words and characters in an entire document or a portion of the text.

Here is how you find it:
•   Open the document you want in OpenOffice Writer
•   Select the portion of the text you want to analyze (it can be the entire document too)
•   Select “Tools” from the menu and then find “Word Count”
•   A dialog box will appear, telling you the exact number of words and characters

OpenOffice can open and read documents made in Microsoft Word. That includes .doc and .docx file extensions, without using any extensions or add-ons.

Here is what you have to do:
•   Click on “File” found at the top of the screen and select “Open”
•   From “All Files” select the Microsoft Word format you want to open
•   Select “Open” and find the document you want to view
•   Click “Open” and the Word document will appear in a new OpenOffice Writer document

If you want to allow table rows to break across pages, you need to have the Allow row to break across pages option enabled. Follow these steps to enable this option:

•   Select the tables you want to break across pages
•   Go to Table Tools > Layout > Properties
•   When the Table Properties dialog box pops up, enable the Row tab and check the Allow row to break across pages option
•   Click OK
