Office2SVN for Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel

Office2SVN includes five regularly used Subversion operations, enabling MS Word and Excel users to easily interact with Subversion.

Subversion Add

A newly created file which is not under Subversion control can be added by clicking on svn add
$/!\$ The file must be initially saved using the conventional File -> Save option
After selecting svn add , navigate to the Subversion working copy directory
Highlight and select the working copy Directory where the new file will be added and click OK
Type a name for the file and press OK
The new Word Document will be added to the Subversion working copy, but it has not yet been comitted to the repository. The final step will involve selecting the Subversion Commit option.

This operation commits the MS Word document to the Subversion repository. Only MS Word files which have been added to Subversion (via svn add ) can be committed.
To commit a MS Word document select svn commit
$/!\$ A successful commit will not return a confirmation

This operation helps prevent multiple people working on the same MS Word document at the same time. Placing a Subversion lock on a file prevents other users from writing to the file. A Subversion lock only works if the Subversion property needs-lock has been set on the file. See the Subversion command svn propset svn:needs-lock filename .
To Lock a MS Word Document in a Subversion Repository select svn lock

This operation renames a committed versioned file in Subversion.
To rename an existing versioned MS Word document select svn rename . The file must be open in MSWord in order to rename the file.
Complete the dialog window with the new file name and select OK ( $/!\$ The extension .doc must be included)
If the new name already exists, the dialog window will reappear and an alternative name should be given. Press OK once this has been completed.
$/!\$ After a rename, an svn commit must be performed

This operation will appear to remove the versioned MS Word document from the Subversion repository. Contact your Subversion Administrator should you wish to recover a deleted document.
To delete a versioned MS Word Document from a Subversion Repository select svn delete .
Please note this will only hide the file from the latest version of the repository.
