hello,
sorry for the french, i thought i was on a french users list…
I use the OOo 2.3 version for mac OS X 10.4.11 via X11
(I have an old PPC G4 iMAc and the native OOo 3 version is too sluggish
on my mac)
here is my problem :
i would like to change the initial creator of an odt document (this
document was originally created by a colleague, of whom I reused only
the layout and styles for the sake of homogeneizing the documents
produced by our team of teachers, but the content of the new document is
created solely by myself)
the properties of the document, accessed by the file>properties menu, do
not allow modifying the initial creator.
so, I used to rename the odt file for a zip file, unzip this file, edit
and modifying the meta.xml (with openoffice or an xml editing software),
zipping the files again and putting back the odt extension.
It used to work, but do not work any longer : openoffice is unable to
open the file. I cannot remember if it fails since i use the 2.3.
if somebody has any idea about how to do this so that it works again…
by the way, it would be a good idea to be able to change the initial
creator by the properties menu, since editing a meta.xml file is not
easy for ordinary users…
thanks a lot for your help,
yours sincerely,
isabelle
Isabelle,
The easiest way is to create a template from the document that your
using and use that for new documents. By creating the template you
become the creator and your name will show in the document's properties.
I do not know how OOo tracks the content of the .odt file but I am sure
that by editing the individual files it will break something so that OOo
can not correctly open the files.
