1.7 Signing Documents

You can digitally sign documents to protect them. For this you need a personal key
(certificate). When applying a digital signature to a document, a kind of checksum is
created from the document's content and your personal key. The checksum is stored
together with the document. When another person opens the document, the recent
checksum will be compared to the original checksum and if both are equal, the applica-
tion will signal that the document has not been changed in the meantime. To sign a
document, select File > Digital Signature and click Add to add a certificate you want
to use for signing.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop allows you to access certificates from the certificate
store. For more information, refer to Chapter 12, Certificate Store (↑Security Guide).

1.8 Customizing OpenOffice.org

You can customize OpenOffice.org to best suit your needs and working style. Toolbars,
menus, and keyboard shortcuts can all be reconfigured to help you more quickly access
the features you use the most. You can also assign macros to application events if you
want specific actions to occur when those events take place. For example, if you always
work with a specific spreadsheet, you can create a macro that opens the spreadsheet
and assign the macro to the Start Application event.
This section contains simple, generic instructions for customizing your environment.
The changes you make are effective immediately, so you can see if the changes are
what you wanted and go back and modify them if they were not. See the OpenOffice.org
help files for detailed instructions.
To access the customization dialog in any open OpenOffice.org module, select Tools
> Customize.
