[Issue] Add Paste Special to Context menu in Writer?

Post by andyprough »

Hi,

I would like to add "Paste Special" to the context menu in Writer, but I have never found settings to add to or delete from the context menu. Is there any way to edit that menu? It is the one that comes up when right-clicking in the main page area in Writer. Calc has "Paste Special" in the context menu, and Writer had it in a couple of prior versions, but 3.0.0 does not have it.

Thanks in advance!

Hello, I hope this is still current and monitored.

I was looking for this solution and came across this post. Joined the forum to vote for it and found it had ben superceded by another ticket and has been solved via adding xml support.

I know my way around a computer but am not a coder. Could someone please give me a cheap and dirty method to add this features (and maybe others) to the right mouse click menu. Thanks.
