Extensions

Extension modules (plugins) are typically created by third-party developers and intended to add additional features to MyOffice Text.

To use an extension:

1.Get the extension installation files from the developer.

2.Install the extension.

3.Run the extension using the Extensions menu of MyOffice Text.

When you upgrade editors from version 2022.01 or further to a newer version, all the extensions from unverified developers and extensions with invalid certificates are automatically disabled. If you trust the source from which you obtained these extensions, enable them manually as described below.

Install an extension

The extension installation files must be stored in one folder. You can choose any location on your hard drive to store this folder.

To install an extension:

1.In the Command menu, click Extensions > Extension manager.

2.In the Extension manager window, click Install.

3.In the file manager window, select the extension file.

4.Read the text in the Install Extension window. If the window displays the “This extension is ready to be installed. Do you want to continue?” message, that means that the author of the extension is a verified developer and that the extension has been signed using a valid certificate. To view information about the developer's certificate, click Show details. To continue installing the extension, click Continue.

We strongly recommend that you do not install extensions from an unverified developer or extensions with an invalid certificate. Installing such extensions can damage your computer.

If the installation is successful, the Installed status is displayed next to the extension. To enable an extension, follow the steps described in the Enable or disable extension section.

If the extension files cannot be read, the message "corrupt_extension Corrupt extension" is displayed under the extension.

If the extension version is incompatible with the version of MyOffice Text, the “incompatible_version Incompatible version” message is displayed under the extension.
