Importing and Exporting other Text Formats
Not only in the course of a project is it necessary to juggle several
text formats; for instance, you may receive abstracts from lecturers
in Word or RTF file format, or you may wish to transfer text from
the wiki to your program of events.
Importing and exporting other text formats is a problem wiki
technology shares with other systems. The Kupu Editor can be valuable
in this regard.
If you would like to insert text from a Word file or a Writer file
(Open Office) into a TWiki page, mark the corresponding text and
copy it to the clipboard. Open the respective TWiki page with Kupu
and add it to the desired spot with the “paste” function. Text and
paragraph formats will remain intact, unless you are importing an
RTF text, in which case the formatting is lost. In most cases, minor
modification will be subsequently necessary.
The same procedure applies if you want to export text from
TWiki to a word processing program. Copy the desired text to the
clipboard, and then insert it in the target document. Don't forget
that, in the event that you have significant problems with this function,
you can always attach files to the Wiki page and make them
available to download. 22
21 As of this printing, the program does not always run reliably. You
should see the variables SETALLOWTOPICVIEW and/or
SETALLOWTOPICCHANGE with the corresponding users.

Chapter 18.4.3.
