    • Import Open Office & MS Word Docs?

    Posted by bigjet posts: 32 United States

    Regards All,
    I read this clip elsewhere on this forum,
    > There are Word and Open Office macros on this site which can be used to make editing easier for those users who are scared to learn the syntax.

    The above comment seems to suggest that TW can import Open Office and Microsoft Word documents into wiki pages. Wow, how about a link to these OO&W macros? Does anybody have a working model of this feature? If so, what version of TW can import DOC files?

    Hi, bigjet

    Yes I think what you are looking for is at,

    OpenOffice2Tiki

    This is very neat! I use this and it makes life much more easy for creating pages. The instructions are a bit tricky but when figgured out, this work well.

    As far as M$ goes I do not know as I do not use it. (sorry boycotting M$)

    later, James

    Just tried the Open Office filter and it worked very well. The install instructions were clear and the filter install was a snap. Thanks again for the link. Simple word processor export will help TW reach a larger audiance.

    I seem to be doing something wrong! I followed the installation of filter on OOo with running it on a file.

    The result is a .txt file with all kinds of weird stuff in it - the header has OOo info and my info and then it is followed by infinite As before it comes to the document content which is absolutely without any format. And, what am I now supposed to do with this?

    Please help!

    I've searched already for a couple of houres and found there is tool/macro: WordToWiki_swythan, but i can't find it.

    Can someone help me please?
