Bug ID: 142572
Summary: Mendely Plugin: Word to LibreOffice citation
compatibility problem
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.1.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: bittu2...@gmail.com
Description:
I got a document in MS Word and have many citations in it that were made using
the Mendeley citation plugin for MS Word. The document was then exported as a
"LibreOffice Compatible" version using the same add-on in MS Office. It creates
a .doc file. (The normal Save As option does not help to do the following at
all)
I am now editing this .doc in LibreOffice and trying to insert citations using
the Mendeley plugin for LO. But before that, I had to save it in .odt format.
Otherwise, the action is not allowed. I can now add new citations, but they
come out as a new and separate bibliography, and I cannot edit the older
citations that were as made in Word. Is there a solution to this?
Version: 7.1.3.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 47f78053abe362b9384784d31a6e56f8511eb1c1
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-IN (en_IN); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded
Mendeley Desktop Version: 1.19.8
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Creat a .docx in MS Office with references that were inserted using the
Mendeley plugin.
2. Export to 'LO Compatible' version using the same plugin. It will create a
.doc file.
3. Save it as .odt using LO and started inserting citations.
Actual Results:
New citations appear in the file but it completely ignores the old references.
The old citation appears as normal text. And the new citations appear in a
separate bibliography.
Expected Results:
The new citations should appear in the existing bibliography and the
numbering/ordering of references in the bibliography should get modified
accordingly.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
