RE: OpenOffice 2.0 or Word 2003 XSLT

Hi,

We are using " XMLMind XML Editor"[1] for most of our content authoring
activities since it is
* free for DTD-based documents
* very cheap for Schema-based documents
* extremly flexible since
	- you may change the display of your content over CSS
	- extend functionality over XMLMind-specific commands and macros
or additional Java classes
* easy to use

Since your authors directly work on repetitive validated XML documents,
they are really restricted to the creation of correctly structured
content.
...but of course it doesn't offer as much authoring capabilites as
word...
...which is eases further processing a lot.

Hope this helps.

best regards,
Roman
