Eh? I have no interest in anything anyone does with a Word document in relation to a CMS. I do *what I described before* -- provide the appropriate forms for entering data, which works just fine. Documents are *created from* that data, not the other way around. > I give my content contributors a Word 2003 template with locked styles. > Several of the styles are for use in adding content semantics and metadata. > And the users are motivated towards success so they use the tools as > designed. That said, I'd be curious to see exactly how such a template works, assuming it demonstrates a specific knowledge domain, such as the earlier gem example, or John Deere tractors, or any other subject. :-) Can you provide or point to an example? -- Hassan Schroeder ----------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Webtuitive Design === (+1) 408-938-0567 === http://webtuitive.com dream. code. ********************************************************* The CMS discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *********************************************************
