What is the Word import?

The extension ImportOfficeFiles allows importing a Word document which will be converted to wiki pages.

• The file can be converted to a single page or to a page with subpages.
• Image files are also imported.
• Imported pages can be used as a page collection for creating a book.

   Settings
   1. Title:The title of the wiki page generated by the import. When the content structure is broken up, the chapters are created as sub-pages of this main page.
   2. Content structure: If the "Split content to pages" checkbox is activated, subpages are created from the heading levels of the Word document. This is possible up to 3 levels deep.
   3. Conflicts with page title:
      • Rename: The imported page is created as <page name> (1). However, this should be avoided, especially with large Word files that are divided into additional levels. It is best to enter a new page title here as an alternative. A naming conflict is displayed in the preview. In this case, if necessary, click Cancel to start the import with a new title. Or select "Override" as a conflict resolution.
      • Override: The existing page(s) will be overwritten with a new version.
5. Click Next.
   The preview shows: (1) the names of the pages that will be created (2) via the arrow icon: the files that will be imported for the individual pages (3) via the eye icon: the content of the individual wiki pages.
