Individual wiki page content limit
Apr 24 2011, 6:42 AM EDT
Is there a limit to the amount of information which can be added to one wiki page please? I have a person who wants to add 60 Word doc pages to the wiki and I was hoping it could be added directly to the wiki page and not as an attachment.Thanking you in anticipation. Regards, Fiona Do you find this valuable? |

There is no limit per se, as to how much content can be placed on a wiki page. The only problem with content intensive pages is loading the page by the viewer. It may take a long time to load and the viewer may shun away from viewing the page. Also, editing the page will become a tedious task of waiting for the page to load and waiting for the page to save. Word documents cannot be directly added to a page due to the embedded control attributes that Word applies to the document. When the document is copied and pasted to a wiki page, all the attributes are stripped away and you lose all of the documents formatting. There is a solution that my wiki Splats2 has developed that will allow a Word document to be placed on a wiki page without the slowness involved nor scrolling up and down through the page to read the entire document. My routine will show you how to convert the word document to a pdf file. This will maintain all font attributes, justification, graphic placements of the word document itself. It will also explain how to put the pdf file directly onto a page without using an outside host such as Box.net or Google docs. This will allow the information to be found only on your wiki. Copy and paste this link in your browser's uri address window to view the instructions and an example. http://splats2.wetpaint.com/page/Add+a+MS+Document+to+View+on+Page 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
