Hi Andrea,
Maybe you could do something with AuthorIT?

Subject: [austechwriter] XML - bringing it together
Hi there,
Couple of weeks ago, I was told that QSR is moving to XML and could I =
produce XML documents from now on? I'm starting to think that the answer =
may be no. I've done an introductory course (Melb CAE) and ploughed =
through a stack of reading, so I have a fair grasp on how to apply and =
create XML tags, how to link an XML doc to a spreadsheet etc.
Problem is, I just don't know how to go about bringing the whole deal =
together to create online help, paper docco (manuals and marketing) and =
web content, all of which will need to be translated into at least one =
foreign language in the near future. Trying to pre-empt the most obvious =
questions:
* I've searched the Austechwriter archives and checked out all the =
relevant links.
* We are using Microsoft Word - apparently the version in Office 2003 is =
an XML editor. The beta version is an XML editor which doesn't appear to =
accept W3C compliant schemas, and it doesn't ship with any schemas, =
stylesheets etc of its own. Use of Word is not negotiable (I've tried! I =
want XMLSpy!).
Already been through:
* www.w3.org
* Microsoft's XML articles on their website (not MSDN) - I was hoping to =
find something which would tell me whether or not they are W3C compliant =
or not.=20
* www.thescarms.com had some handy tutorials, as did
* http://www.w3schools.com/xml/default.asp
Anyone who has any hints, tips or suggestions - let me know! I'm even =
prepared to consider approaching the boss to hire someone as a =
consultant to help me get started.
Thanks and regards
