Alfresco word 2003 Addon in MS Word 2007

[jankomartin]

Hello,
I'm evaluating the use of Alfresco as our Document Management System. I have bean searching the google and forums for a while and have discovered that the Alfresco Word 2003 addon should also work with MS office 2007, but I was unable to get it up and runing under office 2007. Please help me.

My problem is following, I have downloaded Office2003Addin, installed.
The problem is when I start the Word, Excel, poverpoint I can't see anywhere  new buttons or something like this.
When I dig deeper (Menu -> Word Options -> Add-ins) , I can see the alfresco plugin that it is registered in Office 2007 but in section Inactive Application Add-ins.
Than when I try to mange it (pulldown "Com Add-In" and then Manage), I got posibility to check the plugin, but after that when I come back to the list of add-in, the Alfresco Word 2003 is still inactive.

Do you have any suggestion where can be the problem or how can I activate the plugin ?

Thanks. The day before yesterday I downl;opaded form the SVN the following:

https://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD/root/projects/extensions/AlfrescoO...

and the installer didnt seem to work. I thought maybe it just wasnt finished yet so I didnt try again. Are you suggesting I use SVN to download, but instead choose the office 2003 plugin??

Would that be here:

https://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD/root/projects/extensions/AlfrescoO...

?

Ok I went ahead and downloaded the lats SVN build as you requested from the second URL  stated above ands the install went fine. Alfresco now loads in Word 2007. Thanks!

Now trhe problem is that the hosted trial I signed up for a few days ago to test this is down Any ideas why I cant get to:

http://hosted4.alfresco.com/alfresco/faces/jsp/login.jsp

Thanks again for all your help!

Hi

Yes, apologies for not being clear - the AlfrescoOffice2007 project was put on hold, but may be picked up in the future depending on other priorities. It was created before we realised the Office2003 add-ins could be simply modified to work with 2007.

No idea about the hosted4 server - although it seems to be ok now..? If you're still having a problem with it, then please mail support who are better placed to give it a kick!

Thanks,
Mike
