Re: [udk-dev] Uneditable reference marks or bookmarks
Hi Morten, Morten Omholt Alver wrote: Hi, I am working on a plugin for interfacing JabRef and OpenOffice. This involves inserting citation markers in a Writer text (representing a bibliography citation), and formatting a reference list based on which citations appear in the text. This is not done using OO's built-in bibliographic functions, but handled entirely by the plugin. For reference, the current version of the plugin is available here: http://www.itk.ntnu.no/ansatte/Alver_Omholt_Morten/jabref/OOPlugin.html In the current implementation I insert a ReferenceMark for which I set the text to appear in the document (the citation). The name of each ReferenceMark is chosen so it indicates which bibliographic entries (known to JabRef) it represents - therefore the actual text shown in the document does not need to carry that information. There are two problems with my approach: * First, the text in the reference mark is editable, so the user can accidentally add text to the marker instead of outside of it. * Second, the reference marks are lost when saving to Word format. I'm wondering if there is another mechanism I'm overlooking, which would allow me to insert uneditable markers (gray like reference marks), or if it is possible to make the reference marks uneditable? It would be a bonus if the mechanism also could be conserved when interchanging documents with MS Word. We are planning to support citation better in future versions of OOo. Please feel invited to discuss this with us on [EMAIL PROTECTED] I assume that Bruce d'Arcus, the Bibliographic project lead, will join this discussion as he reads our list also. Best regards, Mathias -- Mathias Bauer (mba) - Project Lead OpenOffice.org Writer OpenOffice.org Engineering at Sun: http://blogs.sun.com/GullFOSS Please don't reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED].

Maybe GraphicShapes could help, do not now if there is a property to make them readonly, but you can always glua a macro on them who prefends accitental acces to the text inside. * Second, the reference marks are lost when saving to Word format.
