WikiEducator provides a unique service to convert existing documents into wiki format. This feature uses the Open Office free software engine with a unique uploading interface on WikiEducator to convert existing document files into wiki format. The link to access the OOo Converter is located on the left hand side of your browser under the toolbox.
