What are all these things called?

The terms used in OpenOffice.org for most parts of the user interface

(the parts of the program you see and use, in contrast to the behind-

the-scenes code that actually makes it work) are the same as for most

other programs.

A dialog is a special type of window. Its purpose is to inform you of

something, or request input from you, or both. It provides controls for

you to use to specify how to carry out an action. The technical names

for common controls are shown in Figure 9; not shown is the list box

(from which you select an item). In most cases we do not use the

technical terms in this book, but it is useful to know them because the

Help and other sources of information often use them.

In most cases, as long as the dialog is open, your work is limited to the

dialog. After you make changes, if any, close the dialog (usually,

clicking OK or another button saves your changes and closes the

dialog). Then you can again work with your document.

Some dialogs can be left open as you work, so you can switch back and

forth between the dialog and your document. An example of this type is

the Find & Replace dialog.
