The official OpenOffice.org extensions repository offers many addons to extend OpenOffice.org with additional features.

While OpenOffice.org is free software, it has a policy of also listing proprietary extensions in with the free software ones.

This is the start of an all-free-software list of extensions for OpenOffice.org. Please see Group:OpenOfficeExtensions for more information about the listing, how use it, and how to contribute.

Extensions are listed alphabetically.

Name Description License
Pagination A little macro that adds a 'Insert / Page number...' dialog to writer. It eases the way you can add page numbers to a document. GPLv3
Sun PDF Importer The PDF Import Extension allows you to import and modify PDF documents. Best results with 100% layout accuracy can be achieved with the "PDF/ODF hybrid file" format, which this extension also enables. A hybrid PDF/ODF file is a PDF file that contains an embedded ODF source file. Hybrid PDF/ODF files will be opened in OpenOffice.org as an ODF file without any layout changes. LGPLv3
Text Effects Extension for Writer. It can make colorful text, draw a few simple shapes and Tux, change brightness of text, make anagrams, make inversed text, uneven text, remapped text. GPLv3
