Adding Templates Using the Extension Manager
The Extension Manager provides an easy way to install collections of templates, graphics, macros, or other add-ins that have been “packaged” into files with a .OXT extension. See Chapter 11 (Setting Up and Customizing Apache OpenOffice) for more about the Extension Manager.
This Web page lists many of the available extensions: https://extensions.openoffice.org/. Others may be available from third-party websites.
To install an extension, follow these steps:
- Download an extension package and save it anywhere on your computer.
- In Apache OpenOffice, select Tools → Extension Manager from the menu bar. In the Extension Manager dialog, click Add .
- A file browser window opens. Find and select the package of templates you want to install and click Open . The package begins installing. You may be asked to accept a license agreement.
- When the package installation is complete, the templates are available for use through File → New → Templates and Documents and the extension is listed in the Extension Manager.
