We have some very light XML creation needs and we're
considering Word
2003 to allow authors and copyeditors to work in a familiar
environment while also making sure we can quickly get a
document into XML as we need it. We'd actually be using
this over something like XMetaL.
The documents will be simple: paragraphs, headings,
bold/italic, lists, simple tables, an image or two. The
approach will be simple as well (I hope): WordML -> XSL ->
Our XML -> repository.
Are there any serious "gotchas" lurking with Word 2003 and WordML?
Yep. The real gotchas are the users.
If you can persuade users to stick to only certain styles
you'll probably be the 7th since time began.
regrets.
