2 Using the export filters

2.1 Installing of the filters

Writer2LaTeX can work as an export filter for OOo Writer. This requires OpenOffice.org 2.2 or later, or equivalent versions of StarOffice or NeoOffice.

Two OOo extensions are provided:

The two extensions are independent, you can install one or both depending on your needs.

Note: OOo 2.0.4 and later already includes Writer2LaTeX version 0.4 (LaTeX and BibTeX export only). If you install version 1.0, the built-in version will be hidden (to avoid confusion). If you uninstall version 1.0, the original version will reappear.

Also note: Before you install the Writer2LaTeX extensions, you need to set up OOo to use Java. You can configure this in OOo under Tools – Options. Of course this requires that you have installed a Java runtime environment on your system.

Important: If you have installed Writer2LaTeX 0.5, you must uninstall this version first. (This is not necessary if you have installed Writer2LaTeX 0.5.0.2.)

The extensions are installed and uninstalled using the Extension Manager in OOo. If you need instructions about using the Extension Manager, see
