OpenOffice does support Track Changes, but calls the features Changes (Edit > Changes > Record). But if your ideas include wrapping text above, around or below images and graphics, OpenOffice is less flexible than the other two options. If you want tight control over the look and feel of your documents, you should have no trouble finding the tools you need. Styles, Themes, clipart Gallery and the Navigator are nearly identical between OpenOffice and LibreOffice. Unfortunately, you can't get rid of that slim toolbar on the right, although you can undock it and move it out of your way. If you like less clutter, click the hard-to-see icon of three lines with a down arrow on the top right of the work space. Added to the right side of the page are multiple style- and properties-management tools. OpenOffice Writer presents the common top menus and blank page when opened, just as do Microsoft Word and LibreOffice Writer. That's a little better, but not by much for those looking for real-time collaboration or a cloud platform. LibreOffice vaulted slightly ahead in the collaboration race by offering an easy way to access Remote Files, and supporting Google Drive and SharePoint servers. Yes, that means OO is falling behind in the cloud and collaboration world. Microsoft Office didn't include any collaboration tools in 2003, and OpenOffice doesn't include any now. If you memorized keyboard shortcuts such as Alt-I-H for Insert>Hyperlink, you'll be right at home. Fans of the Static menu will be happy to see File, Edit, View, Insert, Format, Table, Tools, Window and Help across the tops of their documents again. Now add a dimension line for the width using a grid, or "snap to object points" will help align the dimension line to the object.Each application looks much like its counterpart programs in Office, at least the version of Office before the Ribbon interface created so much annoyance among users. The size in the status bar will read 50.00x100.00. set the scale to 1:120, units: feet, and draw your 50x100' area as a rectangle. feet and inches), and you are likely to find situations where a displayed dimension is obviously wrong.Į.g. The problem with this is that Draw (and OOo in general) has major arithmetic problems with non-metric dimensions (e.g. You can change the units the dimensions are shown in using the Tools > Options > OOo Draw > General > Settings > Unit of measurement.įor a space of 50x100', on a 8x10" paper, you need a scale of about 10" to 100', or 1:120. with a scale of 1:5, a rectangle that's 2x3" on the page will show 10.00x15.00 on the status bar. The scale will be applied to the object dimensions that are displayed for the user. You can select from some common ones there, but you can also just enter your own. Go to Tools > Options > OOo Draw > General > Scale > Drawing scale. Well, actually, Draw will do that, but not terribly well.
