Abstract

This paper describes aTool, an extension to Microsoft's Word to create XML documents. aTool has been developed in a joint project of the publisher Springer Verlag, Technical University of Munich (TUM), and Technical University of Aachen (RWTH). It has been developed to provide Springer Verlag with uniform XML documents from its authors and has become a generic XML creation tool that can be adapted to different document structures.For an author, aTool derives XML structures from MS Word editing commands, while he creates his text. For a technical manager, aTool can be parameterized in flexible, yet simple ways to suit the needs of a specific XML application. For a programmer, the paper describes the main implementation details of aTool. The paper closes with a short comparison to other approaches and a summary of the benefits and shortcomings of aTool.
