LibreOffice menu customization support

Aspose.Words Product Family
1

Hello,


We are using Aspose.Words to generate odt documents. The users can then modify these documents using LibreOffice but we use customized menus to limit some of the LibreOffice functionalities.

These LibreOffice menu customization data are stored directly in the .odt file (wich is actually as you probably well know a zip file containing xml files and some other stuff) in \Configurations2\menubar\menubar.xml.

It seems Aspose.Words does not handle these data because if we load an odt file and save it back, the “configuration2” directory is lost. Or I may have missed something…

I understand it’s an odt specific (maybe even LibreOffice specific) concern but could you please tell me if I’m missing something here or if you are planning to support these customization data in the future?

Thanks for your help.

Arnaud.

Hi Arnaud,


Thanks for your inquiry. Please attach your sample ODT file with LibreOffice menu customization data stored inside here for testing. We will investigate the issue on our end and provide you more information.

Hi,


I’ve attached an odt document as requested. If you open it with LibreOffice, you should have a reduced “file” menu (no “save as” for example).

Thank you for your help.
