You can insert pictures with different formats into a text document, including graphics with a JPG or GIF format. The most common formats can be edited directly in a text document with the image editor. In addition, the Gallery provides a collection of clipart graphics organized by theme.

Help Functions

You can use the Help system as a complete reference for OOo applications, including instructions for simple and complex tasks. 

This section contains an overview of some of the important functions and capabilities that OOo Math offers.

OOo Math provides numerous operators, functions and formatting assistants to help you create formulas. These are all listed in a selection window, in which you can click the required element with the mouse to insert the object into your work. There is an exhaustive reference list and numerous samples contained in the Help.

Creating a Formula

As with charts and images, formulas are created as objects within a document. Inserting a formula into a document automatically starts OOo Math. You can create, edit and format the formula using a large selection of predefined symbols and functions.

Typing a Formula Directly

If you are familiar with the OOo Math language, you can also type a formula directly into the document. For example, type this formula into a text document: "a sup 2 + b sup 2 = c sup 2". Select this text and choose Insert - Object - Formula. The text will be converted into a formatted formula.

Formulas cannot be calculated in OOo Math because it is a formula editor (for writing and showing formulas) and not a calculation program. Use spreadsheets to calculate formulas, or for simple calculations use the text document calculation function.

Creating a Formula in the Commands Window

Use the OOo Math Commands window to describe and edit formulas. As you make entries in the Commands window, you see them in the text. To maintain an overview when creating long and complicated formulas, use the formula cursor on the Main Toolbar. When this function is activated, the cursor location within the function in the Commands window is reflected in the text window; the reverse is also true. If you click a specific location in either one of the windows, you will see it in the other one.

Individual Symbols

You can create your own symbols and import characters from other fonts. You can add new symbols to the basic catalog of OOo Math symbols, or create your own special catalogs. Numerous special characters are also available.

Formulas in Context

To make working with formulas easier, use the context menus, which can be called up with a right mouse click. This applies especially to the Commands window. This context menu contains all the commands that are found in the Selection window, and also operators, and so on, which can be inserted into your formula by mouse-click without having to key them into the Commands window.

Impress Features

OOo Impress lets you create professional slide shows that can include charts, drawing objects, text, multimedia and a variety of other items. If you want, you can even import and modify Microsoft PowerPoint presentations.

For on-screen slide shows, animation, slide transitions and multimedia are a few of the techniques you can use to make your presentation more exciting.

Creating Vector Graphics

Many of the tools for creating vector graphics in OOo Draw are available in OOo Impress.

You can also assign a number of dynamic effects to your slides, including animation and transition effects.

OOo Impress also lets you rehearse the timing of your slide show.
