WriterFilter

Getting Current Source Code for WriterFilter

WriterFilter is currently not included in the build system. You have to check it out manually:

cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.services.openoffice.org:/cvs co sw/writerfilter 

Installing WriterFilter

Prerequisites

The current CWS for WriterFilter is writerfilter2. Have a look in EIS for details on the CWS.

You will need an installed StarOffice/OOo and the following projects:

• comphelper
• filter
• jurt
• offapi
• offuh
• scp2
• svtools
• svx
• sw

Compile these projects and deliver the libraries to your installation in <SOINST>.

Changing Filter Detection

In <SOINST>/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice/TypeDetection/Filter/fcfg_writer_filters.xcu add node with attribute oor:name="MS Word 97":

   <node oor:name="MS Word 97" oor:op="replace">
        <prop oor:name="Flags"><value>IMPORT EXPORT ALIEN 3RDPARTYFILTER</value></prop>
        <prop oor:name="UIComponent"/>
        <prop oor:name="FilterService"><value>com.sun.star.comp.Writer.WriterFilter</value></prop>
        <prop oor:name="UserData"><value>CWW8</value></prop>
        <prop oor:name="UIName">
            <value xml:lang="x-default">Microsoft Word 97/2000/XP (new)</value>
        </prop>
        <prop oor:name="FileFormatVersion"><value>0</value></prop>
        <prop oor:name="Type"><value>writer_MS_Word_97</value></prop>
        <prop oor:name="TemplateName"/>
        <prop oor:name="DocumentService"><value>com.sun.star.text.TextDocument</value></prop>
    </node>

Remember to grant yourself write access to the xcu.

Create Resource Database for New Intefaces

Note: This is only necessary if you do not use CWS writerfilter2.

Generate resource database for new interfaces: In offapi/<platform>/ucr/com/sun/star/text call

regmerge /tmp/merge.rdb -UCR XTextAppend.urd

Register New Interfaces

Note: Again, only necessary if not using the CWS writerfilter2.

In <SOINST>/program call

./unopkg add /tmp/merge.rdb

Register filter component

In <SOINST>/program call

chmod u+w services.rdb
regcomp -register -r services.rdb -c <writerfilter lib>

Now, if you load a file recognized as "Word 97", WriterFilter will be used.
