One particularly useful feature of Draw is the ability to open it from other OpenOffice.org modules
so you can create a drawing that is automatically imported into your document.
1 From an OpenOffice.org module (for example, from Writer), click Insert > Object > OLE
2 Create your drawing.
3 Click in your document, outside the Draw frame.
3.7 Creating Mathematical Formulas with Math
It is usually difficult to include complex mathematical formulas in your documents. The
OpenOffice.org Math equation editor lets you create formulas using operators, functions, and
formatting assistants. You can then save those formulas as objects that can be imported into other
documents. Math functions can be inserted into other OpenOffice.org documents like any other
graphic object.
NOTE: Math is not a calculator. The functions it creates are graphical objects. Even if they are
imported into Calc, these functions cannot be evaluated.
3.8 Finding Help and Information About

developers support it. As a result, it is seldom hard to find help or information about using the
OpenOffice.org. The following table shows some of the places where you can go for additional
