Noonetime Announces
Release of Xtract Plus for Word
Automated Two-Way Document Migration Between Word and XML DENVER,
CO --August 22, 2001-- Just weeks after the official release of ConstellationTM,
Noonetime announces the completion of Xtract Plus TM for Word, an XML solution
that uses existing formats and styles from MSWord to transfer data to XML. This
XML enabling tool will be offered as a stand-alone product and as a core enhancement
to Constellation. By
applying Noonetime's patent pending "two-way migration" technology to Xtract Plus
for Word, it allows for a complete roundtrip process of Word to XML and the re-import
of XML back to Word. As a stand-alone product, Xtract Plus for Word takes documents
and exports them directly to valid XML, while automatically creating a corresponding
XSL stylesheet and DTD. It can then import the XML back to the original document
while retaining original styles and formatting. "We
have had tremendous success from our original Xtract Plus product that worked
with QuarkXPress documents" says Chris Ziener, President and CEO of Noonetime.
"Enhancing the core product capabilities with the ability to handle MSWord allows
for improved flexibility for our clients, while increasing the number of companies
that can benefit from Constellation." "A
large number of the companies I work with are looking to implement XML strategies
but rely heavily on Word" says Dale Waldt, Director of aXtive Minds. "Noonetime
provides a way to work with existing infrastructure and incorporate XML without
having to change any of our procedures. It's really important to make the integration
to XML as easy as possible for my clients; Xtract Plus for Word makes that possible."
Xtract Plus for
Word is designed for seamless integration with Constellation, a software solution
that uses behind-the-scenes technology to facilitate seamless two-way content
migration, editing, and re-purposing between XML and other authoring applications.
Xtract Plus for Word works without the use of templates for both existing and
newly created documents, so there is no need to cut and paste your data. As part
of an integrated Constellation solution, the process continues by taking the extracted
XML online to a web-based editing and authoring tool. Once revisions are complete
the data can be imported back to the original Word document or to a QuarkXPress
template for print. The XML data can also be directly distributed over the Internet
and wireless devices, or integrated with leading content management tools. "Our
goal is to provide real solutions to real problems for companies dealing with
the integration of XML," says Ziener. "We want to give content creators effortless
solutions to incorporate into their authoring process, whether they use Word or
Quark, and with additional developments, we will be able to handle the conversion
to XML regardless of the authoring tool used." As
with the initial Quark-enabled release of Constellation, XML works behind the
scenes when converting from Word documents. The technical aspect is hidden from
the user during the creation and editing process, allowing users to access it
only when desired. ABOUT
