Hi Peter! I have tried publishing a document thats been saved to a network drive, and it seems to work ok. What error message (if any) do you receive?? When in the process does the tool 'explode'? Regards, Johan Olofsson EPiServer AB

Hi I tried again on my workstation and yes, it does work from a network drive - it just deciced to fail on site when I was doing the demo to the customer :[ However, it did fail for me on the 2nd attempt. After successfully publishing I attempted to publish the same document again from the same word session. If I close/open Word between attempts it works fine. The error is a general Word exception, and as I dont have the source code for that :) I can't debug it, but it was something about "memory location could not be read". Thanks

Heya, I'm working for the company that Peters is dealing with at the moment. I'm also working through a few prototypes related to the document management system. One of the requests I have received is for a synchronization system between episerver and the 80/20 product. So if a document gets updated by someone it can be pushed through without user interaction with episerver. Basically they are after the highest level of automation I can generate. Heres what I'm trying to do at the moment: 1) Retrieve Document from the document management store 2) Convert the document to HTML ( I can get to this point using the API from MS Office and the 80/20 product) 3) Clean the HTML for the web 4) Publish the Document to episerver Current I'm trying to play with the com objects (I'm just poking around for objects on my dev machine) such as EPiOfficeIntegration to achieve this but if there is any documentation for these objects available would it be possible to get hold of them (either to myself or to Peter)? Am I even on the right track for how the office plug in works ? Cheers Roy

Ive given up on using the office plug in for the mean time and am now using a handy example I found here: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/Html2XhtmlCleaner.asp (which processes HTML to XHTML, cleaning out the word garbage). And I'm now playing around with using the DataFactory webservice to publish the document back to EPiServer. To convert the document from word to HTML I'm using the MS office API, instructions can be found here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.tools.word.document.saveas(VS.80).aspx Hope that helps anyone else in the same boat.
