If you want to make use of the View File macro or to view Office documents attached to a wiki page, you need the setup described below.

Browsers and Flash Player

You can use any browser to view an Office document on a wiki page, provided that you have installed Adobe Flash Player version 9 or later. You do not need to have an Office desktop application installed on your computer, in order to view Office documents in Confluence.

Document Types

To be displayed in Confluence, the document needs to be valid Microsoft Office 97-2003 document, of the following types:

  • .doc
  • .xls
  • .ppt
  • .pdf

If you are using OpenOffice to create and edit the documents, you will need to save your document in Microsoft Office 97-2003 format before attaching it to a Confluence page.
