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.
