Tools to aid writing

Hello!

I was wondering if AOO could also have some functionally like Microsoft 
Office to make suggestions while writing documents (underlining the text 
in green, suggesting grammar changes).

This is very important and very useful while writing professional 
documents or university documents.

Thanks!

Kind regards,

Hi,

For users in Brazil there are two tools available: 1 - Vero (Spelling) and 2
-CoGrOO (grammar checker).

1 - http://www.broffice.org/verortografico

2 - http://cogroo.sourceforge.net/

Regards,

Luiz Oliveira

Great! Actually writing rules for LanguageTool is not terribly complex, 
all work is done in XML files and the most useful rules (repetitions, 
unusual words...) follow rather simple templates. I'm not a LanguageTool 
developer, but I happened to play a bit with it and once you get used to 
the patterns it's rather smooth.

Regards,
   Andrea.

Thanks!

I noticed that it doesn't support Portuguese.

Maybe I should offer myself to do a Portuguese version.

On Sunday I will try to find the contact of the persons in charge.

Kind regards,

Are you talking about a grammar checker? AOO support grammar checker
extensions. Right now there are a couple of them with LanguageTool being
probably the most complete:
http://www.languagetool.org/
Two things to consider: languagetool hits OOo performance very heavily:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3354798&group_id=110216&atid=655717
Never trust too much a grammar checker: today computers are not good enough
for grammar.
