Microsoft Office Add-In Download?

[fordendk]

I have been searching high and low for this add-in and cannot find it. Can somebody please let me know where it is?

Thanks in advance

The Sourceforge download page is linked from the Wiki homepage:

"Alfresco Office Integration" in the download panel on the right.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the tip… must have had my eyes closed. Hey do you need to install all the files or does the Office add-in aggregate the functionality from the word, powerpoint and excel add-ins?

Thanks in advance

Hi

The "Office" version does indeed aggregate all three. I agree it's not immediately obvious!

This page should also be useful:

Installed it but only issue now is that I cannot see the panel in any of the MSFT tools. Any idea what this might be?

[mikeh]

Usually it's due to the Microsoft pre-requisites that haven't been installed fully. Did all three pre-reqs install before the actual add-in? You should also check all Office applications have been closed before installing (sometimes the processes hang around - especially if you use Word as Outlook's email editor, for example)

Add/Remove Programs should have the following entries:
- Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
- Microsoft Office 2003 Primary Interop Assemblies
- Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office Second Edition Runtime
- Alfresco Add-in (depends which add-in(s) you installed)

It's also worth trying a reboot although, in theory anyway, none of these components should need one.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks… I checked and all of the components are installed. Maybe I should try to reinstall it all. I tried rebooting and still nothing.

I get the Toolbar button in Powerpoint but not Word or Excel.

Any other suggestions?

Any service pack compatibility issues?

[mikeh]

Strange that it should work in PowerPoint and not Word & Excel.

Usually it's a good idea to keep up-to-date with all the latest service packs, so that might be worth a try too…

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

about downloading: if you follow the downloads link on your left side (Download and go), the Office addins are not listed. (See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Download_Alfresco_Community_Network)

About not seeing the plugin: I must dive into this as well (although I am not a Microsoft expert) as I have probably the same problem. I installed the Word preview plugin and it was initially OK for a few weeks. Then something was changed on my system and the panel was no longer visible.
When I install the complete office plugins package, all plugins are visible except for the but the Word plugin which is still not there.

(By the way: I think the Office integration is a great way to simplify user interaction with Alfresco. So good work so far.)

Thanks - I've updated the Wiki page.
