RE: structured content reuse

Mirko (and others),

I now of at least one (Dutch) content management system that uses MS
Word as (the only) editor. Check www.osict.com. 

With Word 2003 supporting XML others will follow, no doubt about it.

Thanks 4 all contributions to this topic!
It became clear for me, that there is no "out of the box" solution for
handling fine-grained MS Word document fragments inside a CMS. But I
think
with help of the new XML features (and maybe Smart Documents) coming
with
Word 2003 it shouldn't be a big deal to integrate Word into a native XML
(maybe publication oriented) CMS. The following should be done for this:
Enabling the user tagging his content for component definition (and
supplying metadata), adding a nice interface for component browsing &
inserting, defining the schema for such component- based documents and
developing a generic xslt- transformation file for composing the
fragments.
