Microsoft Word is ubiquitous. Pretty much every computer – even when you take Macs into consideration – has the program onboard. So XML professionals – along with people who aren’t quite experts – may be happy to know that Quark XML Author 3.0 for Microsoft Word will soon be released.
Ayca Yuksel, a senior product manager from Microsoft, explained in a statement, “Quark XML Author enhances the user-defined XML support within Microsoft Word and allows users to create XML content easily, which eliminates many of the barriers associated with the adoption of XML.”
XML pros might be able to save shave some time off their normal routines, then, or work more quickly on computers that are unfamiliar to them. And folks who aren’t accustomed to using XML at all might become more productive, too, thus leaving less for the traditional heavy lifters to do.
Compatibility problems shouldn’t be an issue since the new product is supposed to work with Microsoft Office 2000-2007. Older versions of Quark XML Author for Microsoft Word have been taken into account, too.
Quark XML Author 3.0 will be made available on April 30th.
