  • Creating an Accessible PDF File from a Neooffice Text Document
    Creating an Accessible PDF File from a NeoOffice Text Document Opening Welcome to Accessibility in the MLTI, your how-to source for making ed tech accessible for students with disabilities. I'm Cynthia Curry. Introduction Today, it is my pleasure to walk you through the tools and features of a NeoOffice Text document that you will need if you plan to convert it to an accessible PDF file. For a complete and, hopefully, compelling explanation of why accessible PDF is important, please refer to my previous podcast entitled, “Time to Think About the Accessibility of PDF Files.” And for an overview of what makes any word processing file worthy of being converted to accessible PDF, regardless of the program, please refer to my podcast, “The 'Dos and Don'ts’ of Creating Accessible PDF from a Word Processing File.” That podcast will give you the 'in's and 'out's, regardless of your word processor of choice. Tools and Features of NeoOffice Text Documents Other word processing tools that I’ll address in future podcasts include Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac and Pages 08. Today, our focus is NeoOffice Text files. 1. Applying Styles First, recall that the most important part of creating an accessible PDF file from any word processor is to rely on your program's Styles. Applying Styles to your document creates a consistent and predictable format and layout for all users, particularly those who will access your document using assistive technology. To open the Styles and Formatting window in NeoOffice, choose Format from the main menu and then Styles and Formatting.

  • List of Word Processors (Page 1 of 2) Bob Hawes Copied This List From
    List of Word Processors (Page 1 of 2) Bob Hawes copied this list from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_word_processors. He added six additional programs, and relocated the Freeware section so that it directly follows the FOSS section. This way, most of the software on page 1 is free, and most of the software on page 2 is not. Bob then used page 1 as the basis for his April 15, 2011 presentation Free Word Processors. (Note that most of these links go to Wikipedia web pages, but those marked with [WEB] go to non-Wikipedia websites). Free/open source software (FOSS): • AbiWord • Bean • Caligra Words • Document.Editor [WEB] • EZ Word • Feng Office Community Edition • GNU TeXmacs • Groff • JWPce (A Japanese word processor designed for English speakers reading or writing Japanese). • Kword • LibreOffice Writer (A fork of OpenOffice.org) • LyX • NeoOffice [WEB] • Notepad++ (NOT from Microsoft) [WEB] • OpenOffice.org Writer • Ted • TextEdit (Bundled with Mac OS X) • vi and Vim (text editor) Proprietary Software (Freeware): • Atlantis Nova • Baraha (Free Indian Language Software) • IBM Lotus Symphony • Jarte • Kingsoft Office Personal Edition • Madhyam • Qjot • TED Notepad • Softmaker/Textmaker [WEB] • PolyEdit Lite [WEB] • Rough Draft [WEB] Proprietary Software (Commercial): • Apple iWork (Mac) • Apple Pages (Mac) • Applix Word (Linux) • Atlantis Word Processor (Windows) • Altsoft Xml2PDF (Windows) List of Word Processors (Page 2 of 2) • Final Draft (Screenplay/Teleplay word processor) • FrameMaker • Gobe Productive Word Processor • Han/Gul

  • Free Download Openoffice for Win 10 Openoffice
    free download openoffice for win 10 OpenOffice. Like LibreOffice, OpenOffice.org remains a secure solution for those looking for a free, cross-platform office suite. OpenOffice ambition is to provide ergonomics and functionality for most users, whether they are individuals, companies or public organizations. Completely free, OpenOffice is a complete office suite that combines word processor, spreadsheet and presentation tool. Originally published by Sun and then by Oracle, the suite is now being developed by the Apache Foundation. The project consists of the development of a cross-platform office suite available for Windows, macOS and Linux. OpenOffice can associate open file formats with file formats designed under the Microsoft Office suite. Like LibreOffice, OpenOffice is considered a strong free and credible competitor to Microsoft Office and offers a set of 6 tools: * Writer - a full word processor for designing text documents, letters or resumes; * Calc - a complete spreadsheet for calculating, analyzing and presenting spreadsheets, graphs and data classification; * Draw - a tool dedicated to creating diagrams or communication media; * Database - a software for managing databases, creating and modifying tables, forms and queries; * Impress - the tool for creating slide shows and interactive and multimedia presentations; * Math - a software to create complex mathematical equations. OpenOffice has a clean interface and is compatible with all versions of Microsoft Office and has a spelling checker, except that it is not enabled by default because a dictionary must be installed. With OpenOffice Draw you can create vector drawings to integrate into documents or presentations. At the same time, OpenOffice offers a database management system called Base.

  • Tech Tips Zamzar
    Tech Tips from Mr G Converting Files with Zamzar It happens to all of us. Someone sends us a file that’s written in Microsoft Works (don’t get me started), and all we have is Word. Or you created a presentation on your Mac at home, using Keynote, but the computer you’re working on now only has PowerPoint. Instead of silently cursing the person who sent you the incompatible file for not saving it into a more standard format, and ripping out your hair, there may well be a solution to the problem. And that solution’s name is Zamzar. What is Zamzar? Let’s go back for a moment and talk about an author by the name of Franz Kafka. He wrote a short story called The Metamorphosis, in which a character by the name of Gregor Samsa woke up one day to find out that he had been turned into a giant cockroach. At least that’s the way my 8th grade teacher, Mr D’Antonio, told us the story. Zamzar takes its name from Gregor Samsa, who was changed, because it changes your files from one format to another. Now that you know that, let’s get down to what Zamzar really is. It’s a web-based program that can convert one file format to just about any other file format, and you can find it at www.zamzar.com. How Do You Use Zamzar? There are four steps, as shown in the graphic from their website. The first step is to select the file you want to convert.
