Unfortunately, the ability to edit the header and footer of the company information does not get you very far. If you spend time with OpenERP, it is inevitable that the time will come when you need to make changes to specific OpenERP documents. For example, a company many need to customize their quotation or sales order to make it more visually attractive to their customers. Perhaps a company would like to change the appearance of their invoice or the picking ticket they use to pull products from inventory. In these cases, one of the methods to modify these documents is through the OpenOffice plugin for OpenERP.
Installing OpenOffice is a prerequisite for using OpenOffice Writer to modify reports in OpenERP. If you do not have OpenOffice installed, there are several resources that can help you properly install OpenOffice on your operating system of choice.
