Resources for intermediate and advanced users of OpenOffice.org
I haven’t tried the AuthorSupportTool extension, but it sounds interesting. AST has its own template wizard for academic and scientific papers, a bibliographic and reference tool, an outliner, a progress tracker, and a backup tool.
I couldn’t find it in the official extensions repository, but it is available from SourceForge and installs just like any other extension.

Thanks! It’s a shame the search mechanism at the extensions repository doesn’t find it when I include spaces in the name. I should have thought to use the other form of the name.
