Of historical interest
The following information was written for OOo 1.x or 2.x. It may not be relevant to OOo 3.x.
Things I wish I had written
I highly recommend Solveig Haugland’s blog, which is full of great explanations, hints, and tips on using OpenOffice.org. Here are some examples of her work on Draw:
- Creating a Drawing and Exporting the Drawing (05 Dec 06)
- Using the OOo Draw Shapes in 2.0 (01 Dec 06)
- Applying and Creating Arrows in Draw (29 Nov 06)
- Distorting Shapes to Make the Objects You Need (16 Aug 06)
Resources
Mark Lautman has a collection of Custom OOo shapes available for download, and a tutorial on how to use them.
