how to reduce space between d and %delta.
for example
if i used dx , the output give dx
if i used Greek alphabet like d%alpha , the output give d a (consider a = alpha)

My question is, how reduce gap between d and a??

Just type dα (copy/paste from here if necessary – but it shouldn't be).

You can get the OOoLatex extension here:

You will also need to install LaTeX and GhostScript. Googling I found this for Mac:

Are you using the latest stable version of OpenOffice? Or NeoOffice? Have you tried running individual elements of the macro from Tools>Macros>Run Macro... ?
