OpenOffice Math
Math is Apache OpenOffice’s component for mathematical equations. It is most commonly used as an equation editor for text documents, but it can also be used with other types of documents or stand-alone. When used inside Writer, the equation is treated as an object inside the text document. Similarly, one can also insert these into other Apache OpenOffice programs like Calc and Impress.
Using Math, there are three main ways of entering a formula:
Type markup in the equation editor.
Right-click on the equation editor and select the symbol from the context menu.
Select a symbol from the Elements toolbox.
OpenOffice is more than a collection of six superb tools.
Unlike some competitors, this suite was not created from a collection of separate pieces of software. From the start, it was designed as one complete office package.
All the packages have a similar “look and feel” making them very easy to use, with common “learn once, use everywhere” tools like the Styles and Formatting. Open Office takes its “look and feel” from your computer - if you change your desktop, Apache OpenOffice will change to match.
The same tools are used consistently across the suite - for example, the tools you use to work with graphics within Writer are also found in Impress and Draw.
You don”t need to know which application was used to create a particular file - you can “File Open” any Open Office file from anywhere and the correct application will be launched.
All the packages share a common spell-checker, etc.; and if you change an “Option” in one package, it”s changed in them all.
Information can be transferred easily between all the packages.
All the components save in OpenDocument format, the new international standard for office documents. This XML based format offers substantial disk savings compared to common competitors’ formats. It also means you can access your data from any OpenDocument compliant software.
All the packages are installed in one single operation, using the installation process you are used to on your computer.
Open Office is everything you need in an office productivity suite.
Open Office comes to your mailbox on a CD ROM Disk.
Don’t forget, shipping is FREE.
