OOo also provides a QuickStarter program that places an OOo icon in both the KDE and
GNOME taskbars. Turn this on in the OOo Options dialog box, under Memory. Doubleclicking
the QuickStarter icon brings up a new Writer document by default. This is configurable.
Choose Configure OpenOffice.org QuickStarter from the QuickStarter menu.
With either method, you are presented with the OOo menu. Depending on your OOo
version, you may be presented with either the list of programs or the type of document
you want to open or create: Text Document, HTML Document, Spreadsheet, Drawing,
Database, or Presentation. Choosing From Template brings up a list of existing templates,
and Open Document lets you choose from existing documents.
Configuring OpenOffice.org
Regardless of the method, after you have OOo installed, you are ready to go and can
begin creating documents and other files. You may, however, want to customize standard
OOo behavior before you begin. Go to Tools, Options in any OOo application to open the
dialog box.
As you can see in Figure 9.1, there are many choices to make in configuring OOo, to the
point where some users complain this dialog is too complex.
