Confluence Docs 3.0 : _Office Connector Prerequisites for Edit This page last changed on Oct 01, 2009 by mseager. The Office Connector allows you to edit Office documents embedded in a wiki page or to edit a wiki page in Word. To make use of these editing capabilities, you will need the setup described below. ###### Browsers If you are using Firefox, you will need to install a Firefox add-on. Firefox will prompt you to do this, the first time the add-on is required. You will find instructions in Installing the Firefox Add-On for the Office Connector. ###### Editors To edit documents, you will need to have Microsoft Office, OpenOffice or NeoOffice installed. (See the configuration matrix below.) If you are using Firefox, you can choose which of the above editors you want to use. The Firefox add-on allows you to configure this option for each document type. See Installing the Firefox Add-On for the Office Connector. If you are using Internet Explorer, you will need Microsoft Office. You cannot edit documents in OpenOffice when using IE. ###### Configuration Matrix You need one of the following software combinations to edit Office documents from your wiki page:
Operating System | Office Version | Browser
--- | --- | ---
Windows Vista, or Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or 3 | OpenOffice 2.x, or Microsoft Office XP, 2003 or 2007 (all documents must be in Microsoft Office 97-2003 compatible format) | Internet Explorer 6 or 7, or Firefox 2.x or 3.0
Mac OS X | NeoOffice | Firefox 2.x or 3.0
Linux | OpenOffice 2.x The only known supported Office editor for Linux is OpenOffice. But in theory it should work with any WebDAV-aware application. | Firefox 2.x or 3.0
