So funny to me people sure can take the time to b***h about stuff and how it doesn't work and its no good but they can't spare even a second to see if they are actually installing what they think it is they are installing.

The menu command Edit Plug-in toggles the display of such objects.

Plug-in stands for DDE or OLE objects that are inserted in a document. Current browsers use the term Add-On or Extension for UI related plugins. LOL Unfortunate title of this item but just reading even just the first line of what you are putting on your computer would solve all your issues. Apache OpenOffice can utilize many browser plugins that are installed on your system automatically. This catalog enables you to browse what extensions are available and click to download and install them so of course its seems like a a huge downgrade dude, you don't have any extensions installed. There's far too many and some people may not want some features. You don't download this and automatically all the extensions are installed. So for those of you hesitating to download this because of the reviewers talking about it being a 'huge downgrade' from Open Office 3.0 and that 'I started typing and realized my spelling wasn't being checked' etc and to the reviewers that wrote those reviews -.if you'll read the first line of the description of what it is you are installing you'll see that Apache OpenOffice Extensions is 'The official catalog of Apache OpenOffice extensions.'
