I need to open a Tex file (not latex) in OOo3. I believe that there was once an extension for this, but I cannot find it. Does anyone know about this? Any other ideas? -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת

Is there any way to get back OO.o windows file associations en-masse. I installed 3.0 a while ago on our production Windows Server 2008, but left the file associations pointing to 2.4.x. I am now through my testing cycle with 3.0.1 and am happy enough with it's stability to use it instead of

[users] OOo extensions hard to find, too many dictionaries

2009-02-22 Thread Dotan Cohen

I asked about this on the OpenOffice forum, but got exactly zero response. I've also realized that providing the multiple page/sheet feature this way is almost useless. I tried to do this in a 60 page document, not what anyone would consider a huge document, and selecting Page Preview brought up
