Latest revision as of 14:40, 26 February 2010

I took an old paper and ran four tests on it with available converting tools:

  1. Test One: http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/html2wiki after saving to HTML from MS Word.
  2. Test Two: http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/html2wiki after saving to HTML from OpenOffice.
  3. Test Three: Using Wiki2Text export from OpenOffice.
  4. Test Four: Using Odt2Wiki export from OpenOffice.

As things turn out, results go from worst to best. Odt2Wiki with OOo provides the best result.

Odt2Wiki is available at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Odt2Wiki and OpenOffice is available at http://www.openoffice.org - both are free.
