You need to download and install the Sun Wiki Publisher from http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/project/wikipublisher After installation, go to File > Export. On the Export dialog, you should now see an extra item in the File format drop-down list: MediaWiki (.txt). The resulting exported .txt file may need some tweaking to make it suitable for the wiki, or it may be fine as is. If you don't see MediaWiki on the File format list, you may need to close and reopen OpenOffice.org to activate it. You can also cut and paste from OOo and put in the few necessary mediawiki codes by hand. I do that sometimes when only a few changes are needed on a page and I don't feel like retyping. --Jean --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
