Hi,
Just looking at MySource Matrix for Government CMS website. Basically we publish a lot of documents which are composed in Ms Word. At the moment we just manually convert to HTML via copy and paste in Dreamweaver.
Is there any known problems with MySource Matrix in terms of converting data from MS Word? Any other things I should know about?
Cheers!

Not really. There is a cleaner function in the WYSIWYG. You may need to get the code tweaked depending on which version of Word you use.
You may want to consider using a intermediate cleaner though - we have a stand-alone web application that clean any kind of word html and also does XHTML formatting when the document structure is known.
You will need to be using correct heading levels in this word docs to ensure you get valid html on the site.
cheers,
Richard

Thanks Richard,
What do you call the intermediate tool?

We call it "The Parser".
Original, huh?
It can pre-format the docs - you paste into it from word or email and it gives you a page with clean html - or it can generate XML that can be imported into Matrix.
