Release Notes: 

This is the first beta release of OOoLatex as an extension including the binary for latex2emf (macosx/ppc, linux/i386&ppc, windows/MSys)!

System requirement :

  • LaTeX
  • Ghostscript
  • MSys (for windows users)

To use the emf image format you have to install some Bakoma fonts and for the module Expand, also the STIXGeneral fonts. These fonts can be downloaded form the SourceForge download section.

Before the installation of the extension, remove the old OOoLatex libraries (button 'delete' form the Marco Organizer, tab Libraries).
You can easily install the extension from the Extension Manager, accessible from the menu Tools.

Then, if you open a new document, the OOoLatex tool bar should be available. There, you can access the two modules, Equation and Expand, as well as the configuration window where you have to set the location of the external programs (latex and ghostrcipt) and where optionally you can define shortcuts.

Update: The mac users on intel machine can now use the emf format directly from the extension. The new version 4.0.0-beta-1b is available from the Extension manager, button update.
Update2: New beta version available for download ! The update from the extension manager should work...
