ActiveDocs Beta Released for Office 2003

Microsoft is asking users of Office 2003 Beta 2 to help beta test the latest version of ActiveDocs from Keylogix. ActiveDocs is automation software that runs within Microsoft Word and creates customized documents based on answers given to specified questions stored in a template.

ActiveDocs version 4.0 adds support for the new WordML XML document format and improved Smart Tags functionality. Architectural changes have been made to ActiveDocs enabling the application to better interoperate with InfoPath and Windows SharePoint Services.

"The team at Keylogix is working closely with Microsoft’s Office team during development to ensure the seamless integration of ActiveDocs with Word 2003 and we need your help in testing this new functionality," read an e-mail sent to Office 2003 beta testers. "Important areas of integration and functionality that require testing are ActiveDocs Smart Tags."

The beta release of ActiveDocs 4.0 for Office 2003 is available for download from Keylogix, along with sample ActiveDocs templates. Testers can submit bugs and stay up to date via the ActiveDocs beta newsgroup.
