[16:23:39] Ross Gardler : To be honest I really can't remember. I know I got them to work in the OOo plugin and therefore they should work. But whether they were tested or not... [16:24:13] Johannes Schäfer : there're none in the sample pages, so I assumed they don't work (ooo works indeed) [16:25:39] Ross Gardler : I'd suggest looking to see if you can get the interim document that is output from the MSWord generator and seeing what there is in there. They should be in the produced zip (at least I think the generator produces a zip - it really has been a long time) [16:29:51] Ross Gardler : To see what the MS generator creates try adding the following to input.xml in the plugin: [16:30:34] Ross Gardler : [16:30:51] Ross Gardler : You may need to use a binary serialiser if it does produce a zip [16:34:17] Ross Gardler : yes - the only reason it is not there is the license issue. Perhaps you could dump what you have in SVN on the sourceforge project then if anyone wants to get at what we are discussing they can - I don't care about the license issues at the moment (it is all open source stuff) [16:35:32] Ross Gardler : http://sourceforge.net/projects/forrestplugins/ Ross dumped "his" plugins there.
