All you have to do is read Simon Taylor's column (it's really the "Styler" tag, but he's the main contributor so far).   He's just getting started, but he's got a lot of good information going in there about what's coming down the road for Arbortext Styler. So far it's just a peek, but the promise is there. I know I've been glued to the posts.   We, here at Single-Sourcing Solutions, are thrilled to see the PMs starting to write up stuff -- and I know Simon's been itching to get started. I've known Simon for a long time. He's an amazing PM. Interested in solving real problems. Interested in talking to customers and finding out what they really need. He spends his days thinking about putting words on "pages" and he's damn good at it.   Here's my advice:   Read the posts. Give him your feedback and comments, if you've got 'em.   It'll make the product better for all of us!
