Just to be in sync , I was talking of *some other new Trac users*
rather than of myself . The fact is that they are used to Sharepoint
and work with sites powered by that (E?)CMS so it would be nice for
them if this behavior could be reproduced, but with the added benefit
of using regular versionning of Wiki pages rather than Sharepoint's,
thus having diffs and so on ...

AFAICT if they see emacs + WikiFormatting they'll  quite probably
suffer with a heart attack  :$ . BTW , I liked the suggestion and
might be helpful. Nonetheless if MS Word is configured to edit
WikiFormatting then they'll see plain syntax, and the benefits of
WYSIWYG would be lost (unless there's a way to edit MoinMoin wiki
formatting inside MS Word a la WYSIWYG ...)

What I've been considering so far is a way to combine the following
plugins (probably more) :

- http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/WikiExportPlugin
- http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/PageToDocIntegration
- http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/OdtExportPlugin

... but still find nothing to do the conversion from DOC(X) | ODF to
WikiFormatting (even loosing parts of the original doc ...). Any
previous experience, comment, hint or success history about those
mentioned above ?

PS: The ideal setup would be complemented with the enhancements in
WYSIWYG editor that I mentioned in #7212 @ TH.org ...
