Using XWord

The Ribbon

After you have installed XWord you should be able to see a new tab in your Word Ribbon UI. The ribbon is the new Microsoft Office user interface, added for the first time in Version 12 of Office(2007). The next version, Office 14, will have the ribbon implemented in all it's products. XWord extends the ribbon by displaying a new tab, that offers you the ability to work with XWiki. \

  • The file actions group buttons are only active when you have selected a page or attachment in the Wiki Explorer.

The Wiki Explorer

\

This is the most efficient way of using XWord as it provides fast saving and allows you to focus on your editing. The wiki explorer is located on the right side of the screen, and contains a tree view with the spaces and pages on your wiki server. \

Each node in the tree view has a context menu, that works in a similar manner that the Wiki explorer group in the ribbon. \
