Turbocharge OpenOffice.org Writer with AuthorSupportTool

[ Thanks to Dmitri

“Although OpenOffice.org is a competent productivity
suite, you can add some nifty features to it using extensions.
There are hundreds of nifty extensions available in the official
extension repository. Some of them add a feature or two, while
others take OpenOffice.org to a whole new level. The
AuthorSupportTool (AST) extension belongs to the latter category.
AST not just adds some random features to OpenOffice.org Writer, it
dramatically enhances the word processor’s functionality,
turning it into a powerful tool for working on research papers and
complex documents.

“Since AST is a standard OpenOffice.org extension, installing it
is easy. Grab the latest .oxt package, launch OpenOffice.org,
choose Tools -> Extension Manager, press Add, select the
downloaded extension, and press Open. Restart OpenOffice.org and
you are done.

“Once installed, AST adds a separate AuthorSupportTool menu
which gives you quick access to all the extension’s
features.”
