7 things you didn’t know you could do with OpenOffice 3

Recently, PC Mag ran an article titled OpenOffice.org: 7 Things You Didn’t Know You Could Do. I’ve always been a big fan of Open Office and have found it a nice alternative to shelling out the major bucks for the Office suite from Microsoft.

Here’s the run down of the list.

  1. Edit two or more parts of a document at the same time.
  2. Use OpenOffice.org to open legacy documents.
  3. Play a vintage Space Invaders game.
  4. Turn off the blinking light bulb.
  5. Save files in Office formats by default.
  6. Automate actions easily.
  7. Fix those single quotes.

Looking through the list, #1 seems like a good one, #2 is very useful when digging through old files, #3 wait…what the f*ck?!?
