# Microsoft Office

Specifies the settings for importing and exporting Microsoft Office documents.

To access this command...

Choose LibreOffice - PreferencesTools - Options - Load/Save - Microsoft Office.

## Embedded Objects

The Embedded Objects section specifies how to import and export Microsoft Office OLE objects.

These settings are valid when no Microsoft OLE server exists (for example, in UNIX) or when there is no LibreOffice OLE server ready for editing the OLE objects.

If an OLE server is active for the embedded object, then the OLE server will be used to handle the object.

If no OLE server is active for MathType objects, then embedded MathType objects can be converted to LibreOffice Math objects. For this conversion, the embedded MathType objects must not exceed the MathType 3.1 specifications.

## List Box

The List Box field displays the entries for the pair of OLE objects that can be converted when loading into LibreOffice (L) and/or when saving into a Microsoft format (S).

Mark the box in the [L] column in front of the entry if a Microsoft OLE object is to be converted into the specified LibreOffice OLE object when a Microsoft document is loaded into LibreOffice.

Mark the box in the [S] column in front of the entry if a LibreOffice OLE object is to be converted into the specified Microsoft OLE object when a document is saved in a Microsoft file format.

## Character Background

Microsoft Office has two character attributes similar to LibreOffice character background. Select the appropriate attribute (highlighting or shading) which you would like to use during export to Microsoft Office file formats.
