"Every few weeks, I like to browse the OpenOffice.org Extensions
site to see what is available, and what people are using.
"New extensions that are both useful and well-designed seem to
be getting few and far between. However, if you search patiently,
you can still find extensions worth trying. Below, in no particular
order, are the extensions that I have explored in the past couple
of months. None radically transform the office suite, and some work
better than others, but all of them show some aspect of what can be
done or needs to be done to make OpenOffice.org more efficient or
convenient.
"Last Session
"One of my most frequently used Firefox extensions is Session
Manager, which allows you to save and open groups of tabs. Last
Session is the OpenOffice.org equivalent of Session Manager, and,
as someone who regularly works with multiple documents open, I have
found it just as essential."
