Scroll Office 2.1: Word Macros, Index Generation and REST

We are proud to announce that Scroll Office 2.1 for Confluence is out. We have added a lot of features to build even better Word documents:

  • Templates with Word Macros: It is now possible to upload Word templates with Word macros (don't mix them up with Confluence macros). Word macros are little pieces of functionality embedded in Word files which can make handling Word files a lot easier.
  • More and more flexible Placeholders: A template for Scroll Office can contain so-called placeholders, which are replaced by Scroll Office before the template is outputted with the content from Confluence.
  • Index Generation: Scroll will automatically add all labels as (invisible) index terms to the outputted Word file. If an index is added either to the Word template (before export) or manually after a Word file has been exported from Confluence, Word will automatically pick up these index terms to generate an index. For full control over indexes generation Scroll Office provides the {scroll-indexterm} macro.
  • REST-style API for Automated Export: Did you want to automate Scroll Office from an external system? You it is now possible access Scroll Office now with a REST-style API trigger an export and download the resulting Word file from a remote system
  • Scroll API: The new API allows the extension of Scroll in multiple ways.
  • And more... check out the release notes with more explanations and screenshots

About Scroll Office

Scroll Office is a Confluence plugin that provides first-class Word export. What does that mean? Other than the default Export to Word functionality in Confluence, Scroll is exports multiple pages into one document, builds native Word 2007/2010 files and uses Word templates for styling the output.
