Microsoft Word Macros are scripts that can be added to Microsoft Word which allows you to convert word documents to mediawiki coding for easy copying and pasting into your wiki.

Wikipedia AutoReferencer

This Autoreferencer will turn hyperlinks in a Microsoft Word document into Wikipedia-friendly references.

  1. Click ‘View’ -> macros
  2. Click through to create a new macro using VBA code
  3. Replace whatever code you see with the code below
  4. Click ‘View’ -> macros
  5. Click ‘run’ on the macro called ‘demo’
  1. See your embedded hyperlinks turn into Wikipedia friendly reference/citation 
     <ref>www.google.com</ref> tags

Code:

Sub Demo()
With ActiveDocument
  While .Hyperlinks.Count > 0
    .Hyperlinks(1).Range.InsertBefore "<ref>" & .Hyperlinks(1).Address & "</ref>"
    .Hyperlinks(1).Delete
  Wend
End With
End Sub

Word2Wiki

Description

Word2Wiki is a compilation of various Visual Basic code I found lying around the internet. (possibly related to this)

Usage

To use this Microsoft Word to Wiki converter, copy the code below and save it to word2wiki.bas.

  • Open your word document and then hit Alt+F11.
  • Then select File -> Import File.
  • Select the file you have just saved.
  • Close the Visual Basic screen.
  • Then in your Word document select Alt+F8.
  • The convertor will do its job and should automatically copy the conversion into the clipboard.
  • All you then need to do is to paste into your editor in MediaWiki.

This convertor is not perfect and I am not a Visual Basic programmer, so any enhancements or refinements are most welcome.

JaredBoone 11:57, 5 January 2006 (UTC) Word2Wiki Bug Report: In case the Word document contains a paragraph symbol which is, itself, formatted text, then the Convert<Format> Subs (ConvertBold, ConvertItalics, ConvertUnderline) will enter an infinite loop.

--81.144.178.66 09:55, 27 January 2006 (UTC)Thanks for the fix, I have amended the above code with the changes.

14:11, 9 February 2010 (UTC) Added “dim” statements to the code so that it compiles in Word.

10:36, 11 February 2010 (GMT+1) Refactored + bugfix ConvertTables. In Word 2007, the text was inserted IN the table.

ReadFootNotes (please merge into main code)

This needs to be merged into the main code by someone who knows VB. For now,

  1. run the ReadFootNotes macro (below)
  2. run the RemoveTabSpace macro (below)
  3. run the main Word2Wiki macro. (Testing was carried out successful with an earlier version of Word2Wiki - presumably it also works with Word2MediaWiki.)

Chriswaterguy: Thanks to a friend who is a very competent VB programmer (Amitabh Pathik) we have a way of converting footnotes to MediaWiki markup. I've successfully used it in the past. Now it's just a matter of merging it into a word to wiki macro (which I can't do as I'm running OpenOffice on Linux, which appears to be incompatible with these macros). Amitabh and I both give permission for this code to be used & adapted under whatever open license.

It seems that this has to be run before the other Word to wiki code, or else the other code will delete the footnotes.


ReadFootNotes macro


Amitabh's macro (posted here with permission):

Sub ReadFootNotes()

   For Each com In ActiveDocument.Footnotes
      com.Reference.Select
      Selection.Font.ColorIndex = wdRed
      Selection.TypeText Text:="<ref>" & com.Range.Text & "</ref>"
   Next

End Sub

This leaves a tab and space after each <ref> which is not wanted, so I recorded a macro to remove it - "RemoveTabSpace", below. This runs successfully, after the "ReadFootNotes" macro is finished. This will need to be integrated (and possibly the cursor will need to be sent to the beginning of the document first, so that it replaces all in one pass, with no prompts).

        .Replacement.Text = "<ref>"
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        
        .Format = False
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchWildcards = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With
    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
