When I do cut and paste it seems to make a mess of
the local url. I can fix it by going into the Source
instead of WYSYWYG but that is probably not something
you want to suggest to your technical or proposal writer
or PA...
I notice it changes the form from 'attach:filename'
to 'http:localpath/filename' and sometimes makes a
mess of it. There seems to be some problem
with the quoting; I noticed that one of my file names with a
'-' in the middle seemed to cause quoting to go strange.
This shows in the list of attachments:
http://<HOSTNAME>/xwiki/bin/download/ImmortalData/WebHome/ImmortalData%2DBinarySharefileFormatSpecification.odt
Gives this in the browser when you click on it:
http://<HOSTNAME>/xwiki/bin/download/ImmortalData/WebHome/ImmortalData%252DBinarySharefileFormatSpecification.odt
Replacing it with this works:
http://<HOSTNAME>/xwiki/bin/download/ImmortalData/WebHome/ImmortalData-BinarySharefileFormatSpecification.odt
Have others had trouble with this?

Also a problem when I cut an entire document (a proposal template)
and paste it into the new document. All the attached images and links
are completely effed in the copy.
I'm trying to figure out how to fix them by typing in the
source window, but that is a really bad solution if that is
what I have to do. I just keep imagining what is going to
happen when I toss an English major into XWiki to 'just write'...
I presume the link issues are a known problem?

Hi Dale,
you should try using the Office Import feature and/or the past from Office
button available through the WYSIWYG editor instead of copy/pasting straight
in the content area.
Both feature require the Office Importer module to be up and running.

Guillaume, others,
I think such a rich copy-and-paste as he describes is becoming slowly possible with the
HTML5 and browser-specific APIs which are emerging.
It'd probably take a GSOC to do it but things such as:
- html code (full, typically sanitized)
- rtf
- images (for sure png and jpeg, most probably pdf and svg)
- bookmarks-list
- math formulæ
Could be received by a visual editor provided that editor uses these APIs to receive drops
or pastes.
It surely is not done yet (actually, in no visual editor I know of, but I wouldn't
exclude a pure MS-world would have it).

Does this differ from the XWiki Office stuff?
Does it work with Open Office as well? My team is mixed Windows
and Linux.

Yes, it's not related at all. The Office Importer runs on the server,
and it relies an on OpenOffice/LibreOffice running in server mode. Then
the XWiki platform forwards requests to this server on behalf of the
users to convert foreign content (office documents or content pasted
from them) into HTML that can be further parsed, cleaned and transformed
into wiki content.

A search on my Wiki comes up with a blank on 'Plugin'.
On the XWiki document URL, there is no link that tells you
how to download and install the plug in on your own XWiki,
at least not that I have seen.
I imagine this is the way a lot of new users will hit the
issue of plugins; while I may find out how by doing some
hours of RTFM, it just seems there should be something
simple and obvious on my xwiki for installing a plug in
as an administrator. Maybe there is and it is just a matter
of unfamiliar terminology.

You missed the "OpenOffice Server" administration section? From there
you can start the OpenOffice server, which is used by the office
importer module to import/convert office documents. Of course, you
need to configure the OpenOffice server connection first, and this is
described on
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Office+Importer+Applic…
(there is a link to this page from
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Features/OfficeImporter ).

Office importer is listed as one of the platform features which means
it is available by default. You don't have to install anything. Also,
on http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Office+Importer+Applic…
, in the information box on the top right corner, it is written that
this application is bundled with XWiki Enterprise so you don't have to
install it either.

of unfamiliar terminology.
The steps you should take are:
1. Install (if you don't have it already) OpenOffice or LibreOffice on
the machine where XWiki Enterprise runs. Note that there was an issue
with the latest versions of both office servers,
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-6832 , which was fixed
recently in our code. So you either install on older version of
OpenOffice/LibreOffice (e.g. 3.2) or use the latest XWiki Enterprise
3.2 snapshot (becuse 3.2M3 wasn't released yet).
2. Configure the connection to the office server as described on
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Office+Importer+Applic…
(you have to edit xwiki.properties and restart the XWiki Enterprise
server).
3. Connect/start to the office server from the "OpenOffice Server"
administration section.
4. Use the Import menu from the WYSIWYG editor.
Hope this helps,
Marius
