LibreOffice gets fancy with templates and extensions.

Today I came across two links that I thought might be of some interest to our readers.

  1. Extensions. They allow you to add functionality to LibreOffice that isn't provided by default.

Not sure what the benefit is there yet as I have never been a big fan of extensions in any application. No not even Firefox or Chrome, but perhaps I may find something useful someday.

  1. Templates. Why reinvent the will? This is my motto. Thus the love for templates.

<em><strong><a href="http://templates-test.libreoffice.org/" target="_blank">http://templates-test.libreoffice.org/</a></strong></em>

Let's put it this way: if someone else has already created a grocery list and uploaded it to the internet for others to use for free why should I remake it? I am to lazy for that nonsense.

I am sure as this is a new project it will gain traction as go so as always let me know what your favorite extensions or templates are in the comments.
