This tool does not appear to convert IQ document tables of contents.
Intro
Convert Microsoft Word document content to MediaWiki markup.
This is a Word Visual Basic macro. Usage requires a running copy of Microsoft Word that supports Visual Basic macros. (Word 97 or greater).
Features
- Replaces smart quotes/double-quotes with dumb equivalents
- Escapes the following characters: * # { } [ ] ~ ^^ | '
- Converts external hyperlinks
- Converts H1-H5 headings
- Converts bold/italic/underline/strikethrough/superscript/subscript formatting
- Converts bulleted/numbered lists
- Converts simple tables.
Caveats
- No guarantees, no official support, just like the
- No in-document hyperlink conversion
- May not work well with documents that have highly customized styles/templates. It works best with documents written in the default "Normal" template
- Nested tables have not been tested and may not function as expected.
- Image/graphics/figures are not supported.
Installation
- Get the Word2MediaWiki macro library
- Start Word
- Bring up the Visual Basic Editor (Tools->Macro->Visual Basic Editor or Alt+F11).
- From the VBE, import the macro library (File->Import File...) and select the file you downloaded.
Usage
- Open a word document to convert
- Run the Word2MediaWiki macro by bringing up the Macros dialog (Tools->Macro->Macros… or Alt+F8), selecting Word2MediaWiki and clicking Run.
- The macro converts the document to MediaWiki markup and places a copy of the content on the system clipboard.
- Switch to a MediaWiki editor and paste the result.
