diagramsopenoffice
I would like to draw diagrams using Open Office but I didn't find any installed by default. What I am exactly looking for are diagrams that look like the ones that come with MS Office 2007/2010 (like Pyramid diagrams, Star diagrams etc.).
Any idea? A plugin to install? Otherwise are there any online services that can do it? (I have tested Cacoo and gliffy but they don't really offer the diagrams that I am looking for).
Thanks!
Open Open Office and chose File->Open and there change file type to PDF (default is all files), this is the only way I can open an pdf with open office (after I add Sun PDF import extension!).
You can use SmartArt or Shapes in Excel. Just go to the Insert tab and click on SmartArt or Shapes. It's not as easy as Visio makes it, but you can still do it.
BTW, SmartArt is annoying to use for the kind of flow chart you want to create. I would recommend the regular Shapes.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that you can pretty much do this in Word and PowerPoint.

OpenOffice has a program called Draw built in which is for drawing whatever you want.
File -> New -> Drawing
It does charts, graphs, vector drawings, whatever you want.
