WorX Studio Reviewed

October 17, 2003

EContent Magazine has published a review I wrote about WorX Studio from HyperVision, Ltd. As noted in the capsule summary of the review, “WorX for Word and its companion tool, WorX Studio, provide a novel way to bring Microsoft Word into an XML-based editorial workflow. WorX for Word acts as a plug-in to Word to provide structured authoring of XML. WorX Studio gives users a means to interactively convert unstructured documents into structured XML, and can be used in concert with WorX for Word. The product suite can be very useful for a group of writers who work on a small number of structured document types.”

Why not just upgrade to Word 2003 and get full integrated XML support?

Hi Jesse,

Excellent question. I guess it depends on what you mean by "full integrated XML support." I have only started playing a bit with the new version of Word (I have had the beta for a few months). At the very least, I would have to use Microsoft's own tools to get the level of XML integration my clients would want.

The HyperVision tools also provide a lot of functionality for converting legacy documents into XML.
