I have installed OO 3 on three different machines that I use

Is there any way to synchronize, add-ons, templates, preferences, etc

from on
to another? If so which directory?
You can copy the "user" directory from one machine to another, though
I don't know whether you can do this between operating systems.
Look in Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > Paths to find where the
files you want are stored on your computer. I don't know whether
add-ons (extensions) are included, or if they need to be handled some
other way.
This sounds like a good candidate for the FAQ list!
The following is excerpted from [Tutorial] The OOo user profile
<http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=12426>
on the OpenOffice.org Community Forum
<http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/index.php>
Most of the files mentioned in Tools>Options>OpenOffice.org>Paths are
found in the User Profile, located at :
For Mac users: /Users/<user name>/Library/Application
Support/OpenOffice.org/3/user
For Windows users:
— Before Vista: \Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application
Data\OpenOffice.org\3\user\
— From Vista: \Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice.org\3\user
The user profile has several sub-folders realated to dedicated items:
* autocorr: table of replacement from Tools>AutoCorrect
* autotext: your AutoText entries
* backup: backup files if you've activated the feature in
Tools>Options>Load/Save>General, Always create a backup copy. Each time
you save manually a file, the previous version is saved here
(overwriting the former one). So you have the version n-1, n being the
current version saved.
* basic: contains all the macros you've installed
* config: some configuration files
* database: registered databases
* gallery: customized gallery (Tools>Gallery)
* psprint: used for PDF export I guess
* registry: contains most of the configuration files that could be
damaged, especially in /data/org/openoffice/Office subfolder
* Scripts: no idea
* store: no idea
* temp: no idea
* template: where are stored your custom templates
(File>Templates>Organize>My Templates)
* uno_packages: where are stored the extensions installed for the
user only (including the spell checking dictionaries)
* wordbook: contains the custom dictionaries (see also the
[Tutorial] Spell check and Language configuration)
