| 9 | = New and Noteworthy (since XWiki 4.5) = | ||
| 10 | |||

| 12 | |||

| 15 | {{image reference="release1.png"/}} | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | == Office Import using the Office Macro == | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | We added an option to the [[WYSIWYG Editor>>platform:Features.WysiwygEditor]]'s Import Office Document dialog to allow you to import an office file using the [[Office Macro>>extensions:Extension.Office Macro]]. This is useful if you don't plan to edit the content of the office file after the import or if you don't want to mix the content of the office file with the content of the wiki page. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | {{image reference="xwe-importOfficeDocumentDialog.png"/}} | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | The generated wiki syntax looks like this: | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 26 | {{office attachment="presentation.odp"/}} | ||
| 27 | {{/code}} | ||
| 28 | |||
| 29 | Of course, you need to have the Office server connected in order to use this feature. | ||
| 30 | |||

| 33 | * Ability to [[more easily create multiple FAQ spaces>>extensions:Extension.FAQ Application||anchor="HCreatemultipleFAQs"]]. | ||
| 34 | * Add support for Numbered Lists and Verbatim for the LaTex Renderer | ||
| 35 | * Increased [[Permgen requirements from recommended 128MB to 196MB>>platform:AdminGuide.Installation]] | ||

| 37 | |||
