==OpenOffice Extension==
Extensions in OpenOffice extends the capability of the OpenOffice program. Extension can be for OpenOffice Writer, Calc, Presentation, Database or for the core OpenOffice. For OpenOffice writer, there may be extensions that extends the dictionary feature of OpenOffice so that user can use a French dictionary. Similarly there may be extensions that adds extra grammar features. An extension for Calc might do a complex calculation like mortgage calculation or filter data in certain way.
A popular extension might become part of the core program in a future release.

Since extension can do different things, you might not see any button or menu item. Some extension might only appear and work on context menu. So if you cannot find it, check the extension's read-me file or manual.
