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/[email protected]/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#HOfficeImpo.... I am not sure, but I think it is the same feature that I am using with a different interface.

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I checked the RoadMap, it looks a bit out of date.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.
