Office2007wlx 0.0.4

I was using SeaMonkey 1.1.18 which gives me this: http://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/office2007.png .

The link works in my other browsers. IE 8, Opera 10, FireFox 3.5.3, Google 2.0.172.43, Safari 4.0.2 - but I'm almost sure that it didn't work in IE 8 either when I tried yesterday.

According to http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fcid-e12762cbdafb3c47.skydrive.live.com%2Fself.aspx%2FTC%2FOffice2007wlx%7C_0.0.4.zip&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 there are hundreds of errors on the page, the most crucial one seems to be javascript written outside of <script></script>. So SeaMonkeys error correction is a little less forgiving than the other browsers'. Sigh! so much bad code on the net!

Anyway - got it now via one of the other browsers - thanks!

Neither first, nor the last time to complain about Microsoft

I am glad you've figured it out. I know I could change hosting but this one seems to be the best for my needs (even with troubles you had).

- the DOCM is defined in file-extensions of plugin

Please test this one (0.0.6):
http://cid-e12762cbdafb3c47.office.live.com/self.aspx/TC/Office2007wlx%5E_0.0.6.zip

It should support (by INI detect string definition) following formats:

docm, dotm, dotx, potm, potx, ppam, ppsm, pptm, xlam, xlsm, xltm, xltx.


If it works properly for you I may release this on public in next few days.

1-minute-quick-test-report:

Yes, after modifying the INI-string it display the DOCM (2007). Other extensions will be tested later.

[EDIT:
2-minutes-quick-test-report:
Tables are not displayed - no text, no frames, no place-holders "something is missing here": nothing...

END OF EDIT]

Only basic text has been supported so far (no footers, tables, drawings, etc.).

After quick look into code I assume it shouldn't be hard to change it and add tables support. Place-holders will be easy but I want to try to get the content instead. Please be patient.

[Peter]

....Please be patient.

No problem. Thank you.

Please check:
http://cid-e12762cbdafb3c47.office.live.com/self.aspx/TC/office2007wlx%5E_0.0.6.1.zip

This is alpha version which works for Word files only but it should show (within internal tables):
- standard cells - as plain text only,
- images - as <-IMAGE-> placeholders,
- WordArt objects - as text.

I will check if tables format is the same for other Office documents. In addition I hope for different objects types support across whole documents' content.

Hello fenix

sorry - I see only standard text: no table-contents, no image-placeholders, no word-art-contents.

But I have only Office 2003 with 2007-compatibility pack. Does the plugin use features from Office2007?

Could you send me few more files to look over?

I don't have much Word 2007 documents with tables inside but the test file works for me:

Oh! And my plugin does not use any Office features - it just parses XML files contained within DOCX/XLSX/etc.

[Peter]

I will send you an example.
In the meantime I could find a small problem: Your new plugin is called office2007wlx.wlx, and therefore it did not overwrite the old one. Now I see the table, but still no word art and no IMAGE.

Placeholders were supported within tables but now they should work in whole document:
http://cid-e12762cbdafb3c47.office.live.com/self.aspx/TC/office2007wlx%5E_0.0.6.2.zip

Please remember: works for Word files only (so far).

[Peter]

...Placeholders were supported ....

Oner minute quicktest:
Word art is displayed as text: fine
Image is displayed as placeholder <-WORDART->: semi fine

Peter

Normal images are displayed as: <-IMAGE->
<-WORDART-> is shown for WordArts with texts which cannot be retrieved or for cliparts.

I have just downloaded the office2007wlx_0.0.6.2.zip file and installed it. During a first quick test I have encountered the following two problems:

1. Every paragraph of the original docx file is displayed as a single line. Activating the 'word wrap' option in the TC lister options menu doesn't seem to have any effect.

2. Hyphenated words will not be displayed correctly. In your lister plugin the last caracter before the hyphenation position will be shown as a separate character enclosed by space characters. The word 'undertake' e.g. will be shown as 'unde r take'.

Can you think of any obvious mistake which I could have made?
