Maybe this question would better be directed to the comp.text.sgml
Usenet newsgroup, rather than to the DSSSL Mailing list.

There were some add-ins to author SGML documents from
within MS-Word, but not so well integrated (imho) as with Corel
WordPerfect 7 and 8.

Microsoft had an add-in for MS-Word 6.c (or later) and for Word '95,
called "SGML Author for Word". This add-in relied heavily on the 
use of styles to represent logical elements and _contexts_ 
within MS-Word. The preparation of an authoring environment
for a specific DTD takes a more than considerable effort and the 
structured editing environment itself is far from being foolproof.

It seems (unless I'm wrong) that extensions and add-ins to 
Word '97 have to be based on rather different mechanisms than the 
WLLs (in fact DLLs) with previous versions. The existing (32-bit) 
version of MS SGML Author doesn't work with Word '97. Is anybody
aware of a new release ?  I suppose some people at Interleaf or
other refugees from Avalanche (which was behind the original
development) should know about this.

Another add-in is MicroStar's "Near & Far Author for Word", of
which I don't know the exact status. It provided a better integration
of SGML-related functionality than Microsoft's SGML Author.

Finally, I know of Eric Van Herwijnen's TagWizard 
(NICE Technologies; listed under Delta Computers Ltd Oy in
Steve Pepper's Whirlwind Guide), allowing to assist the 
author in tagging documents from within MS-Word. Here also, 
I'm not sure of the exact status.

Only Microstar's product resembles to a certain degree to
what WordPerfect is offering. The version(s) I have used tended
to stress the PC to its extreme limits. 


Best regards,
