Well, here we'r not so REALLY advanced : the
goverment, made available to all a program to
test such a features but it's a WIN32 only
application, and it creates an xml "template"
to be processed by WORD, WINWORD ONLY, so
we're working with some group of lawyers to
manage it inside eLawOffice, and make it
available on linux too, and without the need
of Ms-Office.
I'm speaking with some OpenOffice developers
to make this "xml-template-like" files working
under OpenOffice too, but we lack many
informations about the full xml format being
used by the goverment ( some people give it
us ;oP ) actually we do not fully understand
how object created from m$word and added to
this xml files could be managed outside word.

yes, it's really awful :o)
but thinking about M$ we'r still not sure
managing xml files inside M$-word could
prevent users to add virus to the files,
SIGN 'em and encrypt 'em for a court.....
and this will be awfull too :o)
cya :o)
