OpenOffice - why not word to XML?

ftoth

Hi,

I read in one of the forums that if the OpenOffice GUI can do a particular
transformation, then it should be doable using Alfresco's OpenOffice
integration.

I know that OpenOffice can convert .doc files to MS XML.
This would be very useful to us if it could be done in Alfresco.

Is it possible to set this up with just changes to configuration?

Thanks,

Fred Toth

Hi,

You should be able to create a custom transformer to do what you want. Please see http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Content_Transformations for details.

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I am aware of custom transformers and
I am in fact using them for other tasks.

But a custom transformer is not the same thing. I am hoping to make
use of Alfresco's built-in support for OpenOffice. It's no small thing to
use its API and I'm hoping that Alfresco has already done the work
for me.

Is it possible to just "turn on" additional OpenOffice transformations
using the existing code and configuration?

Thanks,

Fred

Hi,

We use JODConverter to wrap all the OpenOffice API for us.

So I guess what you need to do is to add the Word XML format to alfresco/mimetypes/openoffice-document-formats.xml in order for the transformer to recognise it as an exportable format.

Thanks,
Mike
