Word 2003, OpenOffice (Windows) updates
------------------------------------------------------------

== Recent Testing Results / Observations ==
== Dreamweaver ==
- * With the recent patches it is now working again
as described above in the Dreamweaver section. (EDIT: The
last patch has broken this for the moment as all files
appear with their original extension (i.e. .xml instead of
.html). This will be fixed soon.)
+ * With the recent patches it is now working again
as described above in the Dreamweaver section.
* Creating a new WebDAV site connected to
localhost:3333/default displays the complete listing of
files from the webdav folder
- * All of the files can be opened, edited, saved,
and checked back in right from within Dreamweaver, with the
changes appearing with a refresh of Lenya.
+ * All of the files can be opened, edited, saved,
and checked back in right from within Dreamweaver, with the
changes appearing with a refresh of Lenya. Saving and
Checking In can be combined into one step in the Site >
Advanced settings tab.
* Basic MKCOL method implemented, but still cannot
create new files because of temporary directories that are
created during new file process.
== OpenOffice (Windows) ==
* There is an option to toggle which Open/Save Dialogs
are used, those from Windows or those from OpenOffice.
* The Windows dialogs are used by default, to change go
to Tools > Options > OpenOffice.org > General and
click the option for OpenOffice Open/Save dialogs.
- * If using the Windows dialogs and browsing to the
files on an XP Web folder, the files will open as read-only.
+ * If using the Windows dialogs and browsing to the
files on an XP Web folder, the files will open as read-only.
This is because OpenOffice is opening read-only temp files
instead of the originals. Word 2003 also does this but
avoids the read-only issue.
* If using the OpenOffice dialogs, browsing to the XP
Web folder is no longer an option.
* However, you can type in ([http://localhost:3333/default/webdav/tutorial_en.html])
and the file will open as an editable file.
- * This is too difficult for a normal user but it
helped to see that the XP Web folders are the cause of the
read-only problem.
* Dreamweaver has no read-only issues because it also
has its own WebDAV implementation and bypasses XP Web
folders.
== XP Web Folders ==
- * As mentioned above they only permit read-only views of
WebDAV files in both Word 2003 and OpenOffice.
+ * As mentioned above they only permit read-only views of
WebDAV files in OpenOffice.
- * [http://www.zope.org/Members/enno/howto_webdav_zopeedit
A google search revealed] that XP Web folders create
temporary files and that this is the likely cause of the
read-only issue. The linked page has a good overview of the
WebDAV issues with Word.

== NetDrive ==
* Possible alternative to XP Web folders, mounts WebDAV,
FTP, SFTP, etc. as a new drive letter.

* The files are opened as read-only (when using XP
Web folders)
* If you can get the files to open without the
read-only restriction they still cannot be saved, because
the html source gets transformed to invalid markup.
* The second point was tested using NetDrive, which
removed the read-only restriction.
- * Saving was successful if I took a clean version of the
code and replaced the unclean version in the source view.
Refreshing in Lenya showed the updated content.

== FrontPage 2003 ==
* Functionality is a cross between Dreamweaver and
Word.

+ == Word 2003 Update ==
+ * Now working for opening, editing, and saving documents
after applying patch for bug #39019.
+ * Files are opened in XML view to preserve
well-formedness.

stylesheets for a more Word-like experience.
