If you’ve used Microsoft Word, then you know that the grammar and spell check feature has gotten pretty advanced over the years. OpenOffice, on the other hand, has fallen behind.

You can check or recheck the text for spelling and grammar at any time, and switch active checking at any time by clicking on Switch On/Off in the LanguageTool

Download LanguageTool

8. Read Text

This is probably the coolest OpenOffice extension of them all. Read Aloud is an extension that lets you highlight any text in your Writer document and have it read aloud.

By default, the extension will use Window’s built-in synthesized voice, but you can also use any external voice application you may have installed.

To use the extension, just highlight the text you want read, then click Tools, Add-Ons, and then Read Selection. You could also copy the text and then select Read Clipboard instead.

Having text read aloud like this is a great way to catch grammar issues you might not catch through normal text-based editing.

9. Basic Comment Helper

Microsoft Word offers the very useful ability to add comments throughout a document by highlighting lines and inserting a comment.

You can have this same feature in OpenOffice by installing the Basic Comment Helper extension.

Once installed, you can highlight any text, click on Insert, and then click on Comment. Type your comment in the yellow block in the margin.

This is a great extension for editors, or anyone who needs to provide feedback to a document author in the margins of the document.

Using OpenOffice Extensions

OpenOffice is an excellent alternative if you’d rather not pay for an Office Suite. It includes all of the products you need to create spreadsheets, documents, presentations and more.

Even though the default application may lack some of the more advanced features you find in paid Office products, as you can see there’s always an extension available that will give you what you need.
