NeoOffice 2017 is based on the LibreOffice 4.4 code. Because earlier versions of NeoOffice were based on the much older OpenOffice 3.1.1 code, some users have found that they are no longer able to export a chart in a spreadsheet document using the File > Export menu item.

To help simplify upgrading to NeoOffice 2017, we have added the following workaround for exporting a chart in the NeoOffice 2017 Upgrade Issues NeoWiki article:

No menu item to export a chart to an image file
