Can´t find OO Plugin in Mendeley Desktop toolbar

Post by minta »

Hello,
I am using Mendeley Desktop 1.13.1 and OpenOffice 4.1.2 on Windows 10 pro.
In the toolbar of the Mendeley Desktop there is only the plugin für words, not for OpenOffice. What can I do, to find the one für OpenOffice?
Thank you very much!

There is the possibility that no plug-in for Open Office exists.
I'm not familiar with Mendeley Desktop, so my question to you is: What leads you to believe that there is an Open Office plug in for Mendeley Desktop?
OpenOffice 4.1.7, LibreOffice 7.0.1.2 on Windows 7 Pro, Ultimate & Windows 10 Home (2004)

As far as a quick search discloses, the plugin is bundled with Mendeley Desktop and can be installed via Tools -> Install OpenOffice Plugin. Further details are at

Apache OpenOffice 4.1.15 on Xubuntu 22.04.4 LTS

Search the forum with Mendeley. IIRC it does not work with the latest releases of AOO because the AOO interface for extensions was changed a little while ago.
