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

Managed to get it working by reinstalling everything. Thanks for the help. The actual Word plugin seems a bit unstable with checkin etc.

That was possibly because I had some rules on. The CIFS server seems to give write problems when saving from Word. I lost my working copy a couple of times.

any ideas about getting it more stable? I have inserted a host resolution in lmhosts just in case it was having resolver problems. Doesn't seem to make any difference. I know a bit unrelated to the Add-in problem but thought somebody might know.

It's a bug in the Office APIs unfortunately.

Interestingly enough I traced most of the problems back to PDF conversion rules I had in place. For some reason my OpenOffice 2.3 on Windows doesn't get mounted when Tomcat starts.

when I start from a cmd window I get an message box telling me that the UI language cannot be determined and that Alfresco can't load OpenOffice.

We really need the PDF conversion to happen. Any bright ideas… I could look at installing Adobe tools I guess but I don't know how to configure.

Are you sure the message isn't that Alfresco can't connect to OpenOffice? I'm reasonably sure we don't kick off OpenOffice if it's not loaded already.

Generally people seem to run OpenOffice Portable when the server starts up and let Alfresco connect to that upon Tomcat start.

Thanks,

When I start Tomcat manually…

1) I get a message box coming up from OpenOffice that says"This application cannot be started. The user interface language cannot be determined".

2) The Tomcat boot proceeds and I get the following messages in the Tomcat console Window:
    "Could not detect RMI registry - creating new one"

    then next message:

   "A connection to OpenOffice could not be established"

It then goes ahead and starts up with normal looking messages in the Tomcat console.

Thanks in advance

Please try not to reply to 2.5 year-old threads. I expect the original posters have found either found what they were looking for, or given up by now!
