Hello,

unfortunately we get our customers requirements in word docx. But we need a living requirements/documentation in the wiki. So we copy/paste the docx' contents. This works quite well so far. But it skips all the images.

Is there a best practice of how to get best results?

Export from Word into someformat, convert to netxt format, copy to wiki? Or something?

Thanks.

We too often run into the scenario of needing a word doc to become a wiki article. Thus far, converting has been very manual, and while a copy-paste gets the content, th formatting is entirely lost. An improvement in this area would be a great boon to us. – cdeszaq Oct 14 2010 at 16:03
I think it too, because it should be speeder write/copy/paste using word, and the import all the article into a wiki page. – Andrea - Eurosystem2000 Aug 25 at 9:21
And what about exporting from cases and wiki pages back out to word? fogbugz.stackexchange.com/questions/9798/… – sam jones Jan 13 at 21:24
Yes! We don't use the FB wiki for much, our main wiki is confluence, and it has a great word import / export feature. Would love to have this in FB. – sam jones Feb 3 at 22:47

If anyone would like to see this importer written, please upvote this question (not this answer!) and let us know!

As a workaround, however, you can always use the "Save As... Webpage" option in MS Word, then copy the source of that page into the source view for the Wiki. This preserves all of your formating, though images are still going to be somewhat problematic. It works fairly well and I've done it a few times myself.
