Test-driving OpenOffice.org 3.0

Fri, 04 Apr 2008 15:00:00 GMT
With OpenOffice.org 2.4 just released, OpenOffice.org 3.0 (OOo3) has already passed its feature freeze, and is scheduled for release in September. Based on recent development builds, what can you expect? In the Base, Draw, and Math applications, very little change, at least so far. But in the core programs of Writer, Impress, and Calc, some long-awaited new features are arriving. Combined with the improvements in the charting system that are the major feature of the 2.4 release, these new features promise to increase both usability and functionality, although some of the changes do not go far enough.

NAME
odt2txt - a simple converter from OpenDocument Text to plain text SYNOPSIS
odt2txt [OPTIONS] FILENAME DESCRIPTION
odt2txt is a command-line tool which extracts the text out of OpenDocument Texts, as produced by OpenOffice.org, KOffice, StarOffice and others. odt2txt can also extract text from some file formats similar to OpenDocument Text, such as OpenOffice.org XML (*.sxw), which was used by OpenOffice.org version 1.x and older StarOffice versions. To a lesser extend, odt2txt may be useful to extract content from OpenDocument spreadsheets (*.ods) and OpenDocument presentations (*.odp). The FILENAME argument is mandatory. OPTIONS
--width=WIDTH Wrap text lines after WIDTH characters. The default value is 65, which means that any words which would extend beyond column 65 are moved to a new line. If WIDTH is set to -1 then no lines will be broken --output=FILE Write output to FILE and not to standard output. --subst=SUBST Select which non-ascii characters shall be replaced by ascii look-a-likes. Valid values for SUBST are all, some and none. --subst=all Substitute all characters for which substitutions are known --subst=some Substitute all characters which the output charset does not contain This is the default --subst=none Substitute no characters --encoding=X Do not try to autodetect the terminal encoding, but convert the document to encoding X unconditionally To find out, which terminal encoding will be used in automatic mode, use --encoding=show --raw Print raw XML --version Show version and copyright information COPYRIGHT
