XML.com has a list of XML editors: http://www.xml.com/xml/pub/pt/Authoring I know for a fact that not all of them actually *support* XML but it seems that SGML support is considered "close enough" for xml.com. I don't mind that but I wish they would label the true XML supporters. The ones I know to support XML are: http://www.xml.com/xml/pub/p/Adept_Editor http://www.xml.com/xml/pub/p/Documentor http://www.xml.com/xml/pub/p/XMetaL Also a few others on their list aren't supported or even sold anymore. You will not find a tool that is "as easy to use as Word" out of the box. Think of Word as an XML editor that only works with a single DTD. It has been tweaked and honed to make editing with that DTD for many years. Now imagine you pop a document according to your vocabulary into an XML editor. It doesn't know what's a list item, it doesn't know what's a paragraph, etc. You'll need to do a bunch of work to teach it all of that stuff. -- Paul Prescod - ISOGEN Consulting Engineer speaking for only himself http://itrc.uwaterloo.ca/~papresco Software is largely a service industry operating under the persistent but unfounded delusion that it is a manufacturing industry. -- Eric Raymond, "The Magic Cauldron: The Manufacturing Delusion" http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/writings/magic-cauldron/magic-cauldron.html xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
