Full support for Office 2007 files was added in version 3.1.

The issue has been resolved for me.

Could be closed?

I heard that is was coming in the next 3-4 months and that was 4 months ago.

We could not wait and decided upon Alfresco Share.

Office 2007 support for the Office Connector is coming in next release of Confluence - targeted in the next 3-4 months.

As Audra mentioned support for Office 2007 is coming in the next release of Confluence, 3.1 which is scheduled for release late November/Early December.

I have to say that the lack of a quick fix to these problems (indexing new MS formats and viewfile macro not working) is making our decision makers think that Confluence is not a viable option (I work for one of the big oil companies).

We are well into SharePoint deployment, and although the Wiki in SharePoint is very bad, we are at the point where we will probably migrate all the Confluence content to SharePoint.

We are trying to get our team up and running, and with our use of Office 2007, it is making it very difficult to move staff over. They rather use Sharepoint with Office 2007.

It is very disappointing to see that this issue has not been resolved yet. Office 2007 is getting adopted everywhere and one of the nicest features of Confluence (Document/Content Management through WebDav) is eliminated because users can find the file content of Office 2007 files through the search?

Please get this resolved ASAP, thank you!

Hi all,

I just downloaded and installed the new version of Confluence (v3.0.1) in our test instance. But it seems that 2007 office documents are still not recognized by the viewfile macro. Does this mean that the fix will be included in the next release of Confluence?

Please advised.

Thanks in advance.
