HandleMSWord

Questions answered by this recipe

This section is optional; use it to indicate the types of questions (if any) this recipe is intended to answer.

Ever wanted to view your wiki page in the world's most popular word processor, Microsoft (tm) Word? This recipe retrieves just the page text from a PmWiki page, and sends it to a viewer's browser as an MS Word attachment. This has been known to work in MS Word 2003 (please update for other working versions).

Description

This recipe sends the page text as a MS Word document.

Notes

1. Download the Attach:HandleMSWord.phpΔ code.
2. Place in $FarmD/cookbook/ or wherever.
3. Add include("$FarmD/cookbook/HandleMSWord.php"); to your site's configuration
4. You may want to update your Site.PageActions. The action is 'msword', or "?action=msword".

When Word views the page, CSS classes remain intact (e.g. p.question). This allows you to modify the style for the page in Word.

I strip out all hyperlinks. I will later add in code to make this optional behavior.

Release Notes

If the recipe has multiple releases, then release notes can be placed here. Note that it's often easier for people to work with "release dates" instead of "version numbers".

0.5 - April 25, 2007 Initial Release. BenWilson April 25, 2007, at 02:19 PM

Comments

When used on my site it produced a doc with only the page actions--no page content whatsoever. Michael-Sept. 11, 2007
