I started it, my motivation to install were not dissimilar to those
you've expressed.  It's OK now I got through the install, which was a
bit tricky; now I've done it once I'm bound to forget, consequence of
the passing years.  I also wanted to get a feel for whats involved in
writing an OOo extension.

First impressions - well its not "The Chicago Manual of Style", nor
disappointingly does it appear to have any links thereto.  It's  a bit
intrusive in that it inserts "Writers Tools"  into the top level menu,
would have preferred a sub menu off Tools or a tool bar, but maybe its
configurable.

I might post review on my blog, I'll try to remember post a link here
if I do.

cheers UT
