[JustSystems] Sept 1/09 Webinar: Converting Microsoft Word to DITA

[Dave Abustan]

Topic: Converting Microsoft Word to DITA

Date: Tuesday, September 1, 2009
Time: 11:00am PT | 2:00pm ET

Presenter:
Simon Bate, Scriptorium

Part of the "Things to Consider when Moving to DITA" Webinar Series Presented Jointly with Scriptorium Publishing

Microsoft Word is the default writing platform for many groups for one reason: almost everyone has it. If you have been creating and maintaining content in Microsoft Word and are now considering moving to structured, topic-based authoring using DITA, this webinar will get you off to a good start. Additionally, if you take direct contributions from non-writers who use Microsoft Word, this webinar will help you create new processes to convert the contributions to DITA in an on-going basis. The techniques described in this webinar range from the tools that are a part of Microsoft Word to relatively inexpensive third-party tools. (If you also have content in unstructured FrameMaker, consider attending our webinar on "Converting Unstructured FrameMaker to DITA".)

Is there a residual readable copy of this webinar? I simply want to know the fast track to importing MS word to xmetal, even in just pieces. I only see importing excel in the help.
