OfficeFMT is a common name for some filters I've developed for OpenOffice.org Writer. I named my package OfficeFMT, because my initial task was to combine a plain text output filter with a simple text formatter, similar to well known UNIX fmt utility. In addition to the Text with Layout output filter OfficeFMT now contains the following components:
a basic LaTeX output filter (sorry, no support for mathematical formulas!);
an enhanced XSLT filtering component, which in its turn provides the following XSLT based filters:
an improved OpenOffice.org Writer FlatXML export and import filter, providing some additional functionality in comparison with the standard version available e. g. in OpenOffice.org SDK;
OfficeFMT is available under the GNU General Public License and can be downloaded here.
In order to use OfficeFMT, you must have OpenOffice.org 1.1.0 or above installed. OfficeFMT will not work with OpenOffice.org 1.0.*.
Before installing OfficeFMT please ensure you have set up OpenOffice.org to use Java. If you didn't do that during the installation, you can run <OOoRoot>program/jvmsetup. (Of course this requires that you have previously installed JRE 1.4 or above on your system).
Refer to a separate page of this manual for OfficeFMT installation instructions.
