First connection wizard
From Bibus
Here is a brief tutorial to establish the connection between bibus and your word processor:
- If you want to use bibus with openoffice, the first step thing you have to do is to check that openoffice macro security level is set to low or medium:
- We can now start the first connection wizard. It starts automatically if it's the first time you run bibus. You can launch it in the menu : Help -> First connection wizard
- Select your word processor. If you selected "Microsoft Word", you can go directly to step 5.
- We are now going to activate the connection between openoffice and bibus.
- Select the type of database you want to use and click on "Next". In our case, we chose a sqlite database.
- Now we are going to create the database. Enter the filaname (circle 1) and the username of the database (circle 2). Then, click on "Finish" (circle3).
Your database should now be functional and the connection with your word processor activated. Good luck!
