While OpenOffice is a pretty handy office suite in itself, you can add even more functionality to it with different plug-ins. Some of my favorites are:

• OoGdocsIntegrator or OpenOffice.org2GoogleDocs: both will download and upload documents to Google Docs. The first also being able to integrate with Zoho.
• Writer’s Tools: adds a lot of functionality such as dictionary, translation, and map search, backup to email, a timer, and more.
• Sun Weblog Publisher (not-free): submits blog posts directly from OpenOffice.

I’ll also keep an eye on Writer to Palm and see how it performs.

Any more tips from our readers?
