Import/Export with Word 2002

[ptoor]

Hello Adepters,

I'm trying to make some decisions about our import/export future roadmap and support. Specifically, I am trying to get a sense of how many people use the import/export feature for Word 2002.

I'd be interested to hear from you if this is a version you currently use in production for your import/export of Arbortext content. I believe there is a low volume of customers, and this may lead to sunsetting that specific version's support.

Thanks for any feedback.

Hi Pushpinder-



We do a fair amount of import/export work, some of which is importing
Word documents. To be honest, I can't tell you how many of those
documents were specifically Word 2002 format, because I didn't have to
worry about it. And that is one of the great advantages of Arbortext

Thanks Clay! Hope you're doing well.

It's more like "Should continue to work in most cases, but no new bug fixes if you do encounter something". Doing this would just allow me to focus QA and development efforts on other enhancements and features.

You are right that a lot of legacy content is usually sitting around on old versions, Word 2002 was actually released in 2001 so it's hit the 10 year mark in itself.

I will take your feedback into account, thanks!

P.S....I have a hard time with thinking of you as an implementer who gets stuck often!

Thanks, Pushpinder. That sounds workable.



We've done a fair number of Import map templates for various customers,
so if you are interested in any additional feedback on other areas of
the product, feel free to contact me directly.
