CropOOo

CropOOo is an impressive OpenOffice extension that streamlines the process of cropping images within Draw or Impress. For those who utilize OpenOffice.org, this extension provides an easy way to manipulate and edit images in a highly efficient manner.

For those unfamiliar with OpenOffice, it is an office application suite that can be accessed across several different operating systems. With support for an array of file formats, including the ISO standard OpenDocument Format (ODF) and Microsoft Office '97-2003 formats, among others, OpenOffice has become a popular alternative to more expensive, proprietary software.

Originally derived from StarOffice, which was developed by StarDivision and acquired by Sun Microsystems in August 1999, OpenOffice.org's suite of software was released with the goal of creating a free, open access alternative to Microsoft Office. While there are additional proprietary components included in newer versions of StarOffice, the OpenOffice.org project and software remain free and open-sourced under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).

While the project utilizes the official title OpenOffice.org, it is frequently referred to as simply OpenOffice. However, due to trademark restrictions, it must maintain the formal name of OpenOffice.org. Regardless of the name, the CropOOo extension is an excellent resource for those looking to efficiently crop and edit images within OpenOffice.org's suite of software.
