Writing long documents with OpenOffice.org
I recently had an email exchange with students about writing a thesis using OpenOffice.org.

In case you also don't know how to use the master document feature, you should check out one or all of the following links:
The other area where both more tools and documentation are needed is the area of bibliographic and reference management tools. Here is a list of different applications that have varying support for OpenOffice.org and ODF:
If any of these vendors or projects don't yet provide the level of integration that you need, either use the feedback forms to submit your feature requests or contribute to the projects!
