Introduction

This current page provides general information for the use of OpenOffice to format pages offline. If you are the original author of embryology content that you would like to contribute to this site, please contact Dr Mark Hill by email. All contributions are acknowledged.


OpenOffice is a free office suite that has all the usual options of Wordprocessor, Spreadsheet, Presentation, Drawing etc. The important option of this software is that it allows exporting of documents into a Wiki format. These can then be opened and pasted into your project page.
