Re: [libreoffice-users] How to change document author in existing document
If you're willing, you can open the file with an archive editor (it's a simple zip file), and edit the information in the meta.xml file inside it. As far as I know, there is no easy way to alter this field directly in libreoffice (maybe someone wrote an extension for this...) -- Cley Faye http://cleyfaye.net 2012/4/11 Russ Mannex r...@mannex.com Using LibreOffice Writer 3.4.4 on Mint 12 KDE. If I create a document, then export to PDF, the author is set to the user info as defined in the OptionsUser Data section. In FileProperties, I can deselect Apply user data and the author info will no longer be exported to a PDF. However, if I subsequently change the OptionsUser Data information, the new information will not be exported to PDF, even if a reapply the FilePropertiesApply user data. Is there another way to change the author info in an existing document so that I can export it to a PDF? -- -Mannex -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] How to change document author in existing document
Thank you to Clei and Drew. It works now. I think I was resetting the user data without having the checkbox checked (which, of course, doesn't make any sense, so I'm not sure why I was doing it that way!). Works now. Much happier. Thanks all! -- -Mannex On Wednesday, April 11, 2012 3:11:57 PM drew jensen wrote: On Wed, 2012-04-11 at 11:33 -0700, Russ Mannex wrote: Using LibreOffice Writer 3.4.4 on Mint 12 KDE.
