Wiki to microsoft word

Текстовый редактор Word в составе пакета Microsoft Office и без каких-либо сторонних надстроек является функциональным продуктом. Тем не менее, существующие возможности Word могут быть дополнительно увеличены за счет встраиваемых надстроек, они же приложения для Microsoft Office. По типу магазинов приложений для мобильных операционных систем или магазинов расширений для браузеров для продуктов пакета Microsoft Office существует свой магазин контента. Это дополнительный функционал определенного назначения, встраиваемый в десктопные и онлайн-версии Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, а также в программную платформу для создания сайтов SharePoint.

В магазине Office имеется как бесплатный, так и платный контент. Выбор надстроек для Microsoft Word (как, впрочем, и для других продуктов офисного пакета) небольшой, а если говорить о бесплатных и поддерживающих работу с русскоязычным текстом, таких и вовсе мало. Одна из таких надстроек – приложение «Википедия». Это приложение внедряет в текстовый редактор небольшую панель, открывающую внутри текстового редактора доступ к мини-формату сайта Википедии.

Работа с Википедией в рамках окна текстового редактора – что может быть удобнее при использовании в своих трудах официальных данных масштабнейшей Интернет-энциклопедии? Ниже рассмотрим, как увеличить функциональность Microsoft Word, внедрив в него панель Википедии.

Для работы Википедии внутри текстового редактора необходим Интернет. Также нам потребуется одна из двух последних редакции Word в составе Microsoft Office 2013 и 2016 или веб-версия Word Online.

1. Установка надстройки Википедии

Чтобы добавить в Microsoft Word надстройку Википедии, переходим на вкладку текстового редактора «Вставка».  В Microsoft Word 2016 и Word Online кнопка доступа к контенту магазина Office называется «Надстройки». Жмем ее и далее выбираем «Магазин».

В версии Microsoft Word 2013 кнопка надстроек называется «Приложения», но находится также во вкладке «Вставка». Здесь также выбираем «Магазин».

Содержимое магазина Office откроется в дополнительном небольшом окошке. Надстройку Википедии можно найти с помощью поиска по магазину или в разделе «Образование».

Нажав значок Википедии в окне магазина, далее увидим форму внедрения надстройки в продукт Microsoft Office. При желании, кликнув по названию-ссылке слева, о любой из надстроек можно узнать более подробную информацию (для чего предназначена, как работает). Информация о надстройке откроется в окне браузера. А для внедрения надстройки в продукт Microsoft Word жмем кнопку «Доверять».

Панель с поисковым полем по содержимому энциклопедии появится в правой части окна текстового редактора.

После установки надстройки кнопка Википедии будет доступна в разделе «Вставка». Вызвав на этой кнопке контекстное меню, можем добавить ее на панель быстрого доступа Word.

2. Как работает Википедия внутри Microsoft Word

Если панель Википедии активна, выделенные в документе Microsoft Word слова автоматически добавляются в поле поиска на этой панели. Поиск информации также осуществляется автоматически, и ниже поискового поля будет размещаться найденная информация.

Википедия внутри Word, как и на сайте, является структурированной. Можно переключаться на разделы статьи, отдельно только изображения, сжатую информацию в табличном формате, ссылки в статье.

Выделенный в Википедии отрезок текста можно добавить в документ Word как цитату кнопкой вставки. Эта кнопка сама появляется в момент выделения текста.

Отличного Вам дня!

Learn how to work with the Wikipedia add-in in Microsoft Word to create information rich documents.

With encyclopedias no longer taking up room on the bookshelf, Wikipedia is the go-to online resource for anyone needing answers. It’s a collaborative website that is useful for students, researchers, and general users alike needing facts for projects, work-related tasks, or information.

In this article, we show you how to use the Wikipedia Add-in tool in Microsoft Word, including step-by-step instructions to make full use of the resources, images, and infobox material Wikipedia provides.

What Is the Wikipedia Add-In Used For?

By now most of us already know what Wikipedia is used for, however, it can also be an incredibly useful tool for creating presentations, business manuals, personal notes, or study material. For anyone who needs to extract information and images from Wikipedia, you are now able to do just that using Microsoft 365 Word and its Wikipedia Add-in.

How to Access and Use Wikipedia in Word

For anyone who has an up-to-date Microsoft license, or a Microsoft 365 subscription—the Wikipedia add-in is a tool that you should already have in Microsoft Word. If you aren’t certain that you already have the add-in, go to the Insert tab on the Word ribbon and you should see the Wikipedia icon in the Add-ins group.

If you don’t see it but would like to add it, take a look at the article published here which shows you how to find, install, and open add-ins.

To start using and recording the information found on Wikipedia in your Word document, follow the steps listed below:

1. Open a clean Microsoft Word document
2. Click on the Insert tab on the top ribbon
3. In the middle of the tab, you will find the Wikipedia button
4. Once you have clicked on the button a pop-up will appear on the right-hand side of your screen
5. In the search bar, enter the subject heading you are researching.
6. Underneath the search bar, four separate buttons will appear. Each button with take you to specific areas that are covered in the search. These are Sections, Images, Infobox, and References.
7. In your Word document, place your cursor where you want the information to be in the document.
8. Moving back to the Wikipedia pop-up, select the information you would like to add. Highlight the relevant text, or click on the image you would like to insert.
9. You will then see a «plus» sign to the top left of the highlighted text/image. Click on this to see the relevant information added to your Word document.
10. Remember to always replace your cursor before adding more information.

Pros and Cons of Using Wikipedia

Creative Uses of Wikipedia in a Word Document

There is no need to wait until a company is on the Forbes list of companies to start a Wikipedia page. A well-constructed company article offers free promotion and can make any organization more visible on search engine pages.

There are other versatile ways to use Wikipedia in all business environments. From search engine visibility (Wikipedia is usually at the top of Google’s result page) that attracts new clientele, to providing citations that enhance a company’s reputation, the encyclopedia can be a branding tool.

Updated and fact-checked Wikipedia information can be used as building blocks on any Word document. A company can even link to the Wikipedia page from a Word document and use it as a way to build trust with new clients.

For education, provided that you aren’t relying solely on the information found on Wikipedia, it can be a rich source of facts and data. Wikipedia often has tables, images, and even charts that you can utilize and add to your Word document. Most, if not all, academic institutions will ask for references or sources, and the beauty of Wikipedia is that every page has a dedicated section which lists these for you. Just don’t forget to check the cited sources yourself.

Understanding the Benefits of Wikipedia in Word

The Wikipedia Add-in in Microsoft Word gives you another way to quickly add data to your document. The Images tab in the add-in works like a image browser, helping you quickly scroll through images in a Wikipedia article and add it to your document if necessary. Maybe, build a travel itinerary in Word.

The core benefit: It turns Word into a research tool and saves you the bother of browsing Wikipedia in a browser. Pick a topic you want to know more about and use this add-in to gather the basic facts on a Word document. You can quote snippets of information and the add-in links to the source automatically. It can become second nature when you work on Word a lot.

This page describes how codebeamer wiki pages can be edited with Microsoft Word.

Edit Wiki Pages with Microsoft Word

To edit wiki pages via Microsoft Word, click on the related wiki page ► context menu ► Edit via Office.

The content of the wiki page can be edited in as a Word document. After editing, saving and closing Microsoft Word, the updated wiki page is automatically uploaded and unlocked for other users.Headings, tables, links, bullet lists and many symbols are also converted between Word and wiki formats.

The Edit via office option is visible to all users but works only for those who purchased the related license. For more information on licensing, see You must login to see this link. Register now, if you have no user account yet..

This feature is useful for document text updates using simple wiki markup formatting.

The conversion process:

1. A wiki page is converted into RTF format for editing with Word.
2. The format is reconverted to wiki upon upload.

Wiki offers a subset of all the features offered in Microsoft Word, therefore, Word documents may not be converted properly when pasted into the Edit via Office sessions.

For a step-by-step guide on using Edit via Office to insert and upload pictures to wiki, see Using Pictures in Edit via Office.

Limitations

Limitations inherent in this wiki-RTF-wiki double conversion include:

• Microsoft Word pictures are automatically uploaded and inserted into the wikis, and the other way around. However, vector graphics (for example graphics created in Microsoft Word) are not supported. Pictures can also be separately uploaded to the codebeamer server and linked inline. Pictures inserted to and resized in Microsoft Word do not reflect the resizing when displayed in the wiki. That is, the pictures may be too large or too small.
• Table of contents- Use the Wiki markup plugin definition

   [{TableOfContents}] 

  , not the Microsoft Word Table of Contents, as the Microsoft Word Table of Contents are not imported into the wiki.

• Similarly, complex Tables and other more complex Microsoft Word constructions, that have wiki equivalents, should be defined in the Microsoft Word document using wiki markup-type commands, or the simpler table commands as shown above.
• Symbols or uncommon fonts or formats — Testing has been limited to English and German with common symbols only. Problems may occur with uncommon fonts or symbols.
• Although the wiki converts to RTF, use copy and paste from other RTF files (into the Wiki in Edit via Office) with great caution. Very large RTF files (for example, RTF files that contain pictures) may not be converted properly.
• Colors — a limited number of colors are converted from RTF to wiki.
• Font sizes — relative font sizes are not converted, unless they are part of formatted markup-style headings.
