Alfresco panel is not appearing in office 2007 documents

[ganesh_boil]

Hi team,
I just downloaded and installed office (complete zip)add-in available at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Labs_3_Final_download_files….. And i'm using Ms-office 2007 on windowsXP machine.
I have .NET 2.0  and visual studio 2005 and alfresco labs 3.0.
The addin was installed sucessfully. And i opened a new msword document through start–>programfiles–>msword.
But the alfresco panel/button is not appearing in any of my office files.

Can anyone help me out. i'm using ms office 2007.. is it hide ???


Regards,
Ganesh.

I got some solution. According to that we need to activate the add-in in word document.
But while activating the addin i'm getting the following error.

Load behavior: Not loaded. A runtime error occured during the loading of the COM Add-in.


I think the problem is, The add-in was specially designed for office 2003 but i'm trying to add it for office 2007.

Does it really support office 2007??

Any help is appriciated.

Regards,
Ganesh.

Hi Mike,
thanks for ur fast reply.. It is working fine. I configured some Advanced workflows like parallel,group through web client.
While starting the workflow from word-document these additional workflows are not appearing.(Only Adhoc and Review & Approve workflows are visible). But while starting through webclient i'm seeing all these workflows.
If i want to see all the Advanced workflows from office-word document do i need any other configurations?

The add-in webscripts currently don't support any other workflows.

Thanks,

Hi Mike,
Then if i want to see my custom workflow from office document what is the way ?
Is it the limitation of the add-in ?

You'd need to update the myTasks webscript to capture the appropriate values from the user, the my_tasks.js client-side logic which parses those inputs and calls the repository and finally the docActions webscript which takes those values and creates the workflow.

Unfortunately i did not find the file named with my_tasks.js in my alfresco through webclient.

It's in /scripts/office (on the file system, not in the repository)

Can u more explore the above two files. And please provide the sample code to add my workflows if possible.

Sorry, there is no sample code - otherwise it would be in the product!

Thanks,
Mike
