The Office Connector allows you to edit Office documents embedded in a wiki page or to edit a wiki page in Word. To make use of these editing capabilities, you will need the setup described below.
Browsers
Editors
To edit documents, you will need to have Microsoft Office, OpenOffice or NeoOffice installed. (See the configuration matrix below.)
- If you are using Firefox, you can choose which of the above editors you want to use. The Firefox add-on allows you to configure this option for each document type. See Installing the Firefox Add-On for the Office Connector.
- If you are using Internet Explorer, you will need Microsoft Office. You cannot edit documents in OpenOffice when using IE.
