Converting HTML to MediaWiki .txt format not working in OpenOffice?

0

I been trying to convert my HTML file to MediaWiki format by exporting it using OpenOffice. I keep getting this error message though:

Error saving the document <filename>:
Write Error.
The file could not be written.

Are you using the latest version of OpenOffice?

Does it require any addons/plugins to export to the mediawiki format?

Since I read a forum post where someone had the same problem and he updated everything where this function depends on and it solved his problem. Furthermore, it sounds like it's a known issue, have this only come up recently or did you never try it before?

Keep us posted!

I have OpenOffice 3.0. On Wikipedia it said that this feature has been supported since version 2.x (I can't remember the exact number). – Kredns – 2009-08-26T02:11:20.357

I never tried it before, but it does look like a know issue. I also tried performing this a root with no luck. – Kredns – 2009-08-26T02:16:32.000

I just tried it in Windows and it worked. Thanks! – Kredns – 2009-09-13T04:19:22.517
