Microsoft Word File Import (Atto)

This error is possibly related to the fact that you are running PHP 7 on Ubuntu. Are you also running PHP 7 on Windows? Additionally, the error message seems to indicate that the issue is with the plugin atto_morefontcolurs, not atto_wordimport. Try uninstalling atto_morefontcolurs and see if that makes a difference.

Hello Eoin,
I ran into a problem on this plugin installation of atto_wordimport_moodle33_2017042301.zip on Moodle 3.1.6 version. I was able to install this plugin on windows xampp and got working without any problem.
But when I installed on Ubuntu, I got a pop up window “Alert File conversion failed” when I did the drag and drop the Word file. Got the following error message by “F12”:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'parentNode' of null

My server configuration from phpinfo() is PHP Version 7.0.15-0ubuntu0.16.04.4. Thank you in advance for your help.

It would be useful to get access to your server, even as a user. Alternatively, the Word file you tried to import might be causing the problem.

Hi guys,
I'm facing an error called servererror,moodle. Can someone help me? Do I miss something? I'm using moodle 3.2 and Chrome browser.

Hi Miki,
Are you using your own Moodle server, or the public test server at http://www.moodle2word.net/?
The plugin seems to be working OK there. I suggest you try a file on the public server first, as it may indicate an installation problem on your server.

Keep getting "XSLT transformation failed ({$a})" error and the word won't import. I tried within lots of word files (very simple files) but same problem. in Moodle 3.1 in clean theme
hope there is solution?

In order to retain pictures in the Word document when importing, the picture must be embedded as an image in the document, not linked. Also, the plugin doesn't support the Word Clip Art, Shapes, SmartArt or Chart features. It is best if the image is edited to the desired size in an outside application (e.g. Paint, GIMP) and then embedded, rather than embedded and then modified within Word.

In order to retain bullet lists when importing, you must use the named Word style "List Bullet" to format the bullet list. A keyboard shortcut for this style is <Ctrl>+<Shift>+L.

Thanks Eoin. The bullet points and some of the pictures on the Word document don't get imported to the content page though. Do you have any suggestions?

Done.

Hello Eoin,
This looks like a really good plugin. Are you going to make it compatible for 3.1.2?
Thanks a lot,
Zhivko

Hi Howard, the most likely reason for this issue is that there is some XML construct inside your Word file that is not well-formed XML. Send me the file causing the problem and I can investigate further.

Using the latest master in 3.1. All I get is "XSLT transformation failed ({$a})". Any thoughts or anything I can do to help debug.

Thanks a lot, Jason & Eoin. This works perfectly.

Simple fix for the Nov 12 issue is to put the word importer after the image button in the atto editor. Same with the file drag and drop plugin. If you put the word importer as the last button in atto the drag and drop plugins work fine.
