The Extension Manager provides an easy way to install collections of templates, graphics, macros, or other add-ins that have been “packaged” into files with a .OXT extension. See [[Documentation/OOo3 User Guides/Getting Started/Customizing OpenOffice.org|Chapter 14 (Customizing {{OOo}})]] for more about the Extension Manager.

This Web page lists many of the available extensions: [http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/ http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/]. 

To install an extension, follow these steps:

# Download an extension package and save it anywhere on your computer.
# In OOo, select '''Tools > Extension Manager''' from the menu bar. In the Extension Manager dialog, click '''Add'''.
# A file browser window opens. Find and select the package of templates you want to install and click '''Open'''. The package begins installing. You may be asked to accept a license agreement.
# When the package installation is complete, the templates are available for use through '''File > New > Templates and Documents''' and the extension is listed in the Extension Manager.
