Confluence Docs 3.1 : Edit in Word Link Macro
This page last changed on Jun 02, 2009 by ggaskell.
The Edit in Word Link Macro allows you to display an 'Edit in Word' icon on the page, like the following image: When a user clicks the icon, Confluence will start the 'Edit in Word' feature of the Office Connector. This will launch Microsoft Word as an editor for the page content. The edit in Word link macro was created specifically for use with the Adaptavist Theme Builder. You may find the macro useful for themes which do not supply the 'Edit in Word' option in the Confluence 'Tools' menu. The edit in Word link macro is just one way that Confluence can interact with Microsoft Office documents. For an overview of all Office Connector features, please refer to Working with the Office Connector.
