La première opération est de s'assurer que java est bien installé.
Ouvrir openoffice et vérifier si java est disponible dans option =>java
Il se peut que l'installation produise une erreur "could not creata java implementation loader".
Il suffit alors d'installer la dernière version de java via synaptic.
Pour cela :
Aller dans synaptic
s'assurer que les dépôts de tierce partie "partner" sont bien cochés
installer sun-java ou plutôt sun-java6-plugin
Afin que openoffice utilise java, il faut également installer
java-openoffice ou plutôt openoffice.org-java-common
Une fois cette installation faite, ouvrir open office et dans options :
java et sélectionner la version maintenant disponible.
Pour écrire en grec :
Il faut installer un plugin pour openoffice appelé Thessalonica.
On le trouve à l'adresse suivante :
http://www.thessalonica.org.ru/en/downloads.html
On télécharge le fichier qui a un extension .uno.oxt
Pour ajouter l'extension, ouvrir OpenOffice. Cliquer sur outils => gestionnaire des extensions.
Dans la fenêtre cliquer sur ajouter et sélectionner le fichier .uno téléchargé sur le bureau.
Une fois celle-ci installée, il faut redémarrer openoffice
on trouve une nouvelle barre d'outils "thessalonica"
et une dans outils, une nouvelle entrée : add-ons.
Pour écrire en Grec ancien, sélectionner Greek ibycus.
Pour faciliter le passage du clavier grec au clavier français,
cliquer sur l'icone de gauche du plugin pour paramétrer le clavier pour sélectionner le Greek ibycus en faisont ctrl + shift +g
L'appui sur cette combinaison de touches sélectionne l'écriture greque.
Appuyer une seconde fois repasse en mode latin.
la barre de tâche peut alors être cachée.
La table de conversion est disponible en cliquant sur Help.
Une page web s'ouvre.

Input method descripttions
Greek ibycus :
This input method was contributed by Pierre MacKay, to whom all comments and suggestions should be directed. The mapping for Greek letters it uses is derived ultimately from Beta-Code, the basic coding of the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae. but modified to escape the requirement that all alphabetic characters be in upper case. (A fossil reminder of IBM punch cards.)

Automatic substitution of final for medial sigma is implemented before space, period, comma, semicolon and question mark.
Diacriticals are always entered after the affected character, and generate, wherever possible, a composite character with combining class 0. Only one character from each of the three classes below is permitted and they must be in class order. (The exclamation point used for questionable characters in papyrology and epigraphy does not actually follow this rule, but should be treated as if it did.) Iota and upsilon with dieresis and acute accent are entered as predicted by this table with the sequence (letter)[+][']. All sequences are in the order used to describe the composite character in the Unicode standard.
Key | Conventional (Unicode) name | Order |
[(] (parenleft) | Rough breathing (DASIA) | 1 |
[)] (parenright) | Smooth Breathing (PSILI) | 1 |
[+] (plus) | General modifier (DIERESIS, etc) | 1 |
[' (quotesingle)] | Acute (OXIA) | 2 |
[`] (grave) | Grave (VARIA) | 2 |
[=] (equals) | Perispomeni (PERISPOMENI) | 2 |
[|] (bar) | Iota Subscript (YPOGEGRAMMENI) | 3 |
[!] (exclam) | (COMBINING DOT BELOW) | 3 |
Greek punctuation marks, numeric and archaic characters can be produced as follows:
Key | Greek | Name |
[?] | ; | Greek question mark |
[;] | · | Greek ano teleia |
[C+] [c+] | Ϲϲ | Lunate sigma |
[K+] [k+] | Ϙϙ | Koppa (archaic) |
[S+] [s+] | Ϡϡ | Sampi |
[V+] [v+] | Ϛϛ | Stigma |
[V] [v] | Ϝϝ | Digamma |
Ambiguous instances such as [a][)], which might be interpreted as either alpha with smooth breathing or alpha followed by right parenthesis, can be disambiguated by pressing the ambiguous character a second time. The following triplets offer an extended range of punctuation:
[`] grave accent, [`][`] open single quote, [`][`][`] open double quote;
['] acute accent, [']['] close single quote, ['][']['] close double quote;
[.] period, [.][.] two dot leader, [.][.][.] ellipsis;
[-] hyphen, [-][-] FIGURE DASH (≈ en dash), [-][-][-] em dash;
[<] editor’s left angle bracket, (U+2329), [<][<] left single guillemet, [<][<][<] left guillemet;
[>] editor’s right angle bracket, (U+232A), [>][>] right single guillemet, [>][>][>] right guillemet.
A very small number of characters can be escaped using the backslash:
[\][v] and [\][V] give upper and lower GREEK NUMERICAL SIGN. [\][[] and [\][]] give floor brackets for quoted inscriptions;
[\][u] provides a BREVE, and [\][=] provides a MACRON. Some of the more complex Greek prosody signs have been accepted into Unicode 4.1 in the Miscellaneous Technical page, following U+23D1. They can be found in the Insert Special Characters pull-down if the font provides them.
