Hi Paul,
I tested xword in the past, but I had the same inconviniences you mention.
About the versions I tested both versions and I have found problems with
uploading images too. Everything else was working fine. So I asked here
http://www.mail-archive.com/users@xwiki.org/msg11450.html, but I couldn't
find a solution there. Then, I created an issue. That issue is still open at
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XOFFICE-226. If you have the same issue,
you can vote for it and that increase the posibility that somebody work on
it.
I finally ended up using this feature
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/OfficeImporterApplication…
import office documents. The tables are not exported properly, but I
can
live with that. Besides, I read that has some improvements on version 2.5.
You should also see this
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/OfficeImporter#HOfficeImp….
I am not sure, but I think it is the same feature that I am using with a
different interface.
Regards,

Hi all,
I've been looking for a wiki that simple MS Office users can use. XWord is
a brilliant idea and my friends jumped into it like ducks into a pond! The
familiarity of the MS Word really helped break down the barriers of
learning
wikis.
However, I am totally confused about what version of XWord should be
installed.
On the one hand, there is this version that I assume is old:
http://xoffice.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XWord/
the links point to IP addresses rather than a host name!!
then there is two versions here:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download#HXWikiOffice
For "XOffice 1.2 M1", the link points to XWord 1.0
For "XOffice 1.1.1", the link points to XWord 1.1
so the "Latest" seems to give me an older version. I believe this is the
one that I installed, and we have found problems with uploading images from
XWord.
We are going to try the other version, but now I'd like to know: where is
version 1.2M1 ? Which one should I be using?
I checked the RoadMap, it looks a bit out of date. Is there anyone working
on XWord? This is a killer feature! I don't see any other wikis with this
sort of feature.
cheers
Paul
