Limitations
- Grammar checking requires the installation of an extension. Document templates are also available as extensions for OpenOffice Writer
- Writer lacks a "normal" or "draft view" found in most other word processors, where paper margins and some aspects of the layout are hidden in order to let the user focus on text editing rather than layout. This is one of the most voted for feature requests on the OpenOffice web site.
- Cannot have a single document viewable in a split window view (either horizontally or vertically split), whereby you can view two different locations in the document at once (for comparison, editing, copy or cut and paste operations, etc.).
- Writer can't rotate images, although this feature is planned for inclusion in v4.0
- Cannot open multiple documents in one task window (either horizontally or vertically split, or tiled with one another) and keep each document visible at the same time (for comparison, editing, copy or cut and paste operations, et al.) rather than having only a single document viewable at a time.

—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“The limitations of pleasure cannot be overcome by more pleasure.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
