Does the file have the .doc extension? Is its MIME type set correctly in Zope? Try adding this to the ini file: [content-type:application/msword] extension=.doc hth, -Casey On Mon, 28 Oct 2002 14:28:54 +0200 Jean Jordaan <jean@upfrontsystems.co.za> wrote:
Hi Casey & lists
We aim to use ExternalEditor as the crux of our CMF for end-users. When logged in to Plone, the ExternalEditor icon shows up with the user's content. Which strikes me as very, very cool.
It works fine for plaintext content, but it will have to work with Microsoft Word (and/or OpenOffice). Currently, when I try this, Word tells me that it doesn't have an importer for this type of content (though it is a plain .doc file I'm editing), and opens the file as unconverted gunk with some recognizable text here and there. I'm guessing that this may be thanks to ExternalEditor's tempfile name.
Does anyone have a ZopeEdit.ini that works with Word?
