[xwiki-users] Open attached Word Document (which contains "OnOpen" Macro)
We are using XWiki 4.0 We have uploaded several Word Documents and Templates to our Wiki. Some of those documents/templates have embedded OnOpen or OnNew macro's (which simply displays a form that the users needs to fill out). If we start/open a Word Document/Template from our Wiki, those OnOpen/OnNew macro's are NOT being fired (and thus the userforms are never displayed) We need to display those userforms when a user opens those documents/templates! Help! -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Open-attached-Word-Document-which-contains... Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Hi Hamster. You may need to manually download the word document on your computer before opening it. I suspect this behaviour is a "security" feature of MS Word, when the document is opened "from the network". XWiki is not supposed to change the content and the behaviour of a word document. Please try and tell us. Regards, Louis-Marie 2013/5/22 Hamster <[email protected]>

Even adding our Macro Certificates to those documents has no effect :-( The macro's are simply ignored when the documents are opened from XWiki. Downloading the documents before using them defeats the purpose of storing Word Templates in XWiki. We would like to use the "power" of XWiki to do revisions on those documents, while still offering a "one-click" way to start a new Word Document for our users. Does anyone else use Word Documents/Templates within XWiki? Do they also contain any macro's? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Open-attached-Word-Document-which-contains...

This is not in any way XWiki's fault, since it doesn't touch the content of the attachments in any way. Try to add the site to the list of "trusted" domains, maybe that helps. Search for a solution to this problem on Microsoft's resources, since it's their software that decides not trust documents coming from the web. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu
At least I am not the only one with this problem...(but no solution) Internet Explorer and Word Macros <http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/ieitpropriorver/thread/43f65aeb-b9f3-4116-a479-13be2293ceeb/> -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Open-attached-Word-Document-which-contains...
