Microsoft Office

Specifies the settings for importing and exporting Microsoft Office and other documents.

Embedded Objects

The Embedded Objects section specifies how to import and export Microsoft Office or other OLE objects.

These settings are valid when no Microsoft or other OLE server exists (for example, in UNIX) or when there is no LibreOffice OLE server ready for editing the OLE objects.

If an OLE server is active for the embedded object, then the OLE server will be used to handle the object.

If no OLE server is active for MathType objects, then embedded MathType objects can be converted to LibreOffice Math objects. For this conversion, the embedded MathType objects must not exceed the MathType 3.1 specifications.

[L] and [S] Columns

The [L] and [S] checkbox displays the entries for the pair of OLE objects that can be converted when loading into LibreOffice [L] and/or when saving into a Microsoft format [S].

Mark the box in the [L] column in front of the entry if a Microsoft or other OLE object is to be converted into the specified LibreOffice OLE object when a Microsoft or other document is loaded into LibreOffice.

Mark the box in the [S] column in front of the entry if a LibreOffice OLE object is to be converted into the specified Microsoft OLE object when a document is saved in a Microsoft file format.

Character Highlighting

Microsoft Office has two character attributes similar to LibreOffice character background. Select the appropriate attribute (highlighting or shading) which you would like to use during export to Microsoft Office file formats.

Lock files

Mark this checkbox to generate a Microsoft Office lock file in addition to LibreOffice own lock file. Lock files signal to applications that a resource or file should not be used until the lock is released.
