This may not be the best forum, in the future you might want to try posting this kind of question in Alfresco Discussion so that others can find it more easily. Anyway – no big deal.

For those wondering – it looks like upcast is a product that can take a MS Word Document and convert it to XML.

Features are:

There is also a product by the same company called downcast which can take a XML document which conforms to a given schema and convert it to an MS Word document.

It looks like an interesting product. It is not open source (tisk tisk :wink

That certainly doesn't exclude the possibility of having a project in the forge that connects the two products.

I don't know of any existing integration (doesn't mean it doesn't exist) I check the forge for new goodies pretty often and I haven't seen it.

Are you using upcast? how do you like it? How strong are the transformation capabilities? Have you done anything with its java API? Is it difficult?
