Windows – Converting word documents into a Trac wiki format

conversionmicrosoft wordtracwikiwindows

I'm working on a development team that uses Trac to maintain a software product that we are developing, and after working with our technical writer, we decided that we should try to put our test procedure documents into our wiki.

Unfortunately, these are all Word docs. Mostly Word 2003. We just converted to Word 2k7, so I have its conversion abilities available.

Does anyone know of a way that I can convert my word documents into wiki-formatted text? I tried looking at Word2Wiki but the app says it doesn't work with Word2k7.

I'm also okay with converting our word documents to another, intermediary format, before converting it to wiki.

Forget all those tools.

Microsoft Word allows you to export in HTML. Export HTML, copy-paste, remove 'html' 'head' and 'body' tags, and surround with HTML WikiProcessor.

If the styles don't come through well, try exporting to RTF and using an RTF to HTML converter. Then proceed.
