Exporting/Importing Excel Files
When you work with tables in TWiki, sooner or later you will want
to know whether you can transfer tables between office programs,
such as MS Office or Open Office, and TWiki. There are several
methods with which to do so. We would like to present a very simple
program for that purpose that will enable you to
� import tables from office programs, HTML editors and texts
structured via tabs to TWiki,
� conversely, export TWiki tables to office programs,
� perform table formatting and sorting tasks within the program.
The program, written in Delphi, presently only runs under Windows.
You will find it at http://www.twiki.org in the Plugins web under the
Add-Ons as “Copy Table from/to Spreadsheet/table Programs Add-
On.” Download the file CopyTWiki.zip and unpack it to a local directory
on your computer. When you then open the .exe file in the
folder created, the program's interface will appear.
The spreadsheet that you now see in front of you functions as a
sort of clipboard, and is the interface between the various formats.
For instance, you can copy your Excel table onto the sheet, edit and
format it as desired and then copy it to your TWiki – or vice versa.
