Alfresco Office Add-in and Office 2007
Seeing some of the searches that had brought people to my post on Alfresco and Microsoft Office Integration, I thought I would add this little tidbit: The add-in was designed to work for Office 2003, but it can work with Office 2007 as well.
From the Alfresco Wiki:
Although the Alfresco Add-Ins have been designed with Microsoft Office 2003 in mind, they are compatible with Microsoft Office 2007, with the following caveats:
Before installing the Add-Ins, ensure the .NET Programmability Support option has been installed for each of the Office applications you are installing the add-ins for. Normally these will be Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
- The options can be found by running the Office Setup program and expanding the list of available options for each application.
- You may need your original Office 2007 install media in order to add these essential components.

Jared,
I prefer my mac os x client to MS. Is there an office integration add-in for the mac client?
Thanks.

Scott,
There isn’t an integration for Office and Alfresco on the Mac. I have been playing with porting the MS Office Add-in to the Mac Dashboard. It is not to the port that it is completely functional. As time permits I’ll continue working on it.
One of the changes that came with Office 2008 was the move to using native Applescript as the extension language. I’ve been thinking about playing with it to see if we can accomplish the same thing using it.
Another option is OpenOffice. The OpenOffice plugins should be cross-platform. (The ones that I tried in early development worked both on Mac and Windows. I haven’t had a chance to try them on Linux but they should work there as well.)

Thanks.
