Hi Michael,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for your valuable time.</div><div>I'll explain the problem in more details.</div><div><br></div><div>I create a new Document (.odt file). I add some custom properties, Say a text and a number, by going into File->Properties->Custom Properties.</div> <div>I save the file (as .odt) and close it. When I open the file, I go to custom properties and they are there.</div><div><br></div><div>Now I save the same file as Microsoft 97/2000/XP format, using 'Save As' option.</div> <div>I close and reopen the .doc file again.. All the Custom properties are vanished.</div><div><br></div><div>So I just want to know how libre office handles the Custom properties, which all files are involved.</div><div> I just need a little start up. Its really bottleneck for me.</div><div><br></div><div>Your help will be highly appreciated.</div><div>Regards</div><div>--<br>Swagat<br><br> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 20, 2011 at 4:05 PM, Michael Meeks <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:michael.meeks@novell.com" target="_blank">michael.meeks@novell.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Hi Swagat,<br> <div><br> On Wed, 2011-07-20 at 15:14 +0530, swagat sharma wrote:<br> > I am working on fixing the custom properties in libre office, which<br> > are not preserved in MS format.<br> <br> </div> Sounds good - can you be more precise as to exactly which properties<br> you're talking about though ? :-)<br> <div><br> > I need little help as I have never worked on LO or OO before.<br> > Can I know which all files are involved, or deals with custom<br> > properties.<br> <br> </div> So - more details apprecicated.<br> <div><br> > Also how do we convert an .odt into a MS .doc.<br> <br> </div> On the command-line; ./soffice --help will help you wrt. --convert-to<br> etc.<br> <br> The core code for the binary .doc filters is in sw/source/filter/ww8/<br> <br> HTH,<br> <br> Michael.<br> <font color="#888888"><br> --<br> <a href="mailto:michael.meeks@novell.com" target="_blank">michael.meeks@novell.com</a> <><, Pseudo Engineer, itinerant idiot<br> <br> <br> </font></blockquote></div><br></div>
