Chapter 21 . Working with Words and Images 547 Unlike other applications that were created to work with Microsoft document and data formats, OpenOffice.org (although not perfect) does a very good job of opening and saving those files with fewer problems. Very basic styles and formatting that open in OpenOffice.org often don t look noticeably different from the way they appear in Microsoft Office. In other cases, such things as bullets, alignment, and indentation can appear quite different in Writer than they do in Word. Also, some Word features, such as macros and scripting features, may not work at all in Writer. To open OpenOffice.org applications, select the relevant menu item (such as the OpenOffice Writer icon) from the system menu (K-Menu, for example). In most distributions, there s a folder called Office (or something very similar) located on the system menu as well. Figure 21-1 shows a Microsoft Word document open for editing in OpenOffice.org Writer. Figure 21-1: Work with Microsoft Word documents in OpenOffice.org Writer. The controls in Writer are similar to the ones you find in Word. Toolbars include boxes for changing styles, font types, and font sizes. Buttons let you save and print the file; change the text alignment; and cut, copy, and paste text. In other words, Writer includes almost everything you expect in an advanced word processor. In addition, Writer includes a handy PDF button to output a file directly to the PDF format, which is very useful for exchanging documents or placing data on the Internet. Although this book cannot cover all the OpenOffice.org applications, you can try them out directly from KNOPPIX or most other Linux distributions that offer KDE or GNOME desktops. Note
