GamerWiki:Word to MediaWiki
From GamerWiki
Here are the instructions for Word to MediaWiki, downloadable from: http://www.infpro.com/downloads/downloads/wordmedia.htm.
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
Download 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.
