In general, Draw provides all of the functionality of Visio. The critical issue is getting the appropriate shapes. Potential sources of shapes are: * http://www.lautman.net/mark/coo/tutorial.html; * http://www.openclipart.org/ (This focuses more on clipart, than shapes.) There was a proposal for a Visio import filter for OOo as a Google Summer of Code project. However, it isn't mentioned on that page on the OOo wiki. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2006#OpenOffice.org_Summer_of_Code_Projects Macros that may increase Visio-like functionality are: * http://www.ooomacros.org/user.php#115800 Shape duplicator; * http://www.ooomacros.org/user.php#226070 JackCAD; * http://gerard.deneux.free.fr/ CADOOo; * http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/OOoSVN Subversion storage; * http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/svgimport SVG Import; http://oopm.openoffice.org/ is the page for the OOo project to create MS Project functionality in OOo. http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org_Solutions#Project_Management_.26_Note_Taking is a list of known opensource programs that provide project-like functionality. OOo macros and extensions that provide Project functionality include: * http://www.ooomacros.org/user.php#125136 Box Plots and Histograms * http://www.ooomacros.org/user.php#175388 Gannt Chart * http://www.ooomacros.org/user.php#184651 PERT Chart * http://www.ooomacros.org/user.php#188207 Reference Manager * http://www.ooomacros.org/user.php#192746 PJM Calc * http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/OOoSVN OOoSVN; Mising in action: * Project macro that uses the built in dBase 3 clone; * Materials macro that uses the built in dBase 3 clone; (The above two were available for OOo 1.0.) xan jonathon -- OOo can not correct for incompetence in creating documents from MSO. Furthermore,OOo can not compensate for the defective and flawed security measures used by Microsoft. As such, before using this product for exams that require faulty and defective software, ensure that you will not be unjustly penalized for the incompetence of the organization that requires the use of software that is known to be flawed, defective, bug-ridden, and fails to meet ISO file format standards. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
