OpenOffice 3 enhancements: A first look

Another upgrade to the new version of OpenOffice is its integration of extensions, or add-ons.

It is now possible to search for updates to extensions from within OpenOffice, and the extension functionality is now presented as an integral part of the main suite. The objective in taking this approach, according to OpenOffice.org, is to keep the core suite as lightweight as possible, while making it easy for functionality to be added by those who need it.
