Word2WikiPlus - Standalone MS Word 2 Moin-Moin Wiki converter

This code is based on AlexanderAgibalov 's StandaloneMicrosoftWordConverter (v0.5), then code from MicrosoftWordConverter (v2) was merged (as this had some additional beneficial features). Finally, the code was optimised and a few minor extra features were added.

It supports old and new moinmoin syntax and can convert multiple files during one session.

Provided below is the Visual Basic source code (and interop assemblies for Office 2002-2010 if not embedded), plus the compiled binaries. It can be easily compiled using the free Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express.

How to use

1. start application, press Start and select a single / multiple .doc file(s)
2. wait for the conversion process (a progress bar is provided)
3. the result will be shown in a new tab
4. copy text from the tab to the Wiki text editor
5. move images; images can be found in the same directory as the original doc file (in a zip file)

Today i just test this tool(for moinmoin_184) only for following text with MS-2003. I have made first and second headings with normal text in word document.

First Heading
Normal text
Second Heading
Normal text
Picture
here was my picture

then i run your exe file and upload my document and i got following output. The output for the text was very nice but this exe does not write the complete wiki code for image. Here is the wiki-code which i got after running your tool Word2Wiki.exe:

= Here is the first heading =
Normal text.

== Second heading ==
Normal text
