CambridgeDocs Announces Word FO Designer for Microsoft Word 
New plug-in for MS Word enables cross-platform, server-side, personalized, multi-channel publishing of XML content to PDF, RTF and HTML using XSL:FO.

Cambridge, MA - Aug 24, 2006 CambridgeDocs (www.cambridgedocs.com) an emerging leader in the field of unstructured data management and enterprise publishing, today announced the release of Word FO Designer, a new plug-in for Microsoft Word that allows organizations to easily add multi-channel publishing to their business applications. 

With this new capability, companies that publish large volumes of transactional documents and personalized correspondence, such as those in the insurance, financial services and healthcare industries, can dynamically custom-assemble documents for publication without having to manually maintain hundreds of document templates. Word FO Designer turns Microsoft Word into an authoring tool for creating electronic and print documents with no requirement to write custom code, thereby saving organizations thousands of dollars in development expense and enabling the creation of scalable, high- performance publishing applications in both Windows and UNIX environments.

"We believe the Word FO Designer provides an effective way to map XML data to MS WORD document templates, that creates an efficient capability in our application to provide for automatic server-based generation of documents in the Health Care/Insurance space," said Loan Kenney, Senior Associate of Technology with Sapient Canada.

Visual Mapping of XML Data to PDF, HTML, and RTF
Examples of XML content that can be easily published using Word FO Designer include: 
* Personalized Correspondence
* Dynamic Reports
* Online Printable Forms
* Insurance Policies
* Press Releases


When used in conjunction with the CambridgeDocs xDoc Publishing Server, Word FO Designer allows organizations to generate Stylesheets from Microsoft Word documents. Based on the open w3c XSLT format, these Stylesheets can insert XML data into designated locations within Word documents and then dynamically populate their content, similar to a server-side Mail Merge.

"Our new tool turns Microsoft Word into a WYSIWYG designer for dynamic publishing applications. This allows organizations to implement multi-channel publishing without the expense of the many person- hours otherwise needed to write XSLT's and learn standards such as XSL:FO, " said Rizwan Virk, co- founder and CEO of CambridgeDocs. 

Word FO Designer also allows for inserting formatting control within templates through the use of ordinary Microsoft Word commands. Cross-platform server- based applications (written in either Java or .NET) can then call these document templates and include dynamic personalized multi-channel publishing within ordinary business processes.

The Word FO Designer is priced at $995 per copy, and is available for download immediately from CambridgeDocs website.
