I am presenting an OOo topic at a Linux conference end of next month.
I could do an excellent job with Macros, but I am looking for more
general interest.
I was thinking about a few different topics to cover in 45 minutes
that would grab a general audience. If I can find topics that I can
then also link back to the authors site, that is a bonus.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
I was thinking about the following topics:
1. Templates and Styles
2. Cross references
3. F3 Auto completion and formatting. Complicated word, Table
formatting, etc.
4. XForms
5. Database reports
6. Define own Calc functions (so i can work a bit with Macros).
Here are the some that get the attention of technical writers (my
main audience for talks):
- Export to PDF, Flash, HTML, etc.
- Fields, mail merge, automatic ToC/index
- Master documents
- Customizations
- Conditional text and formatting
- Spell checking in multiple languages (using para or char styles)
- Security, digital signing, and ways to remove metadata
- Can unzip file and edit the XML, including styles

These are excellent examples! Thanks jean!
