Microsoft will ship Content Management Server 2002 by year's end, adding new support for XML content management and Web services, company executives will announce Tuesday at the start of the Microsoft Exchange Conference (MEC). The follow-on to Microsoft's server software for managing content on the Internet and within intranets is designed around the .Net Framework, Microsoft's products for building and running .Net applications and services, according to Chris Ramsey, a product manager in Microsoft's .Net Enterprise Server group.
One key addition to the software is its integration with Microsoft Word. Users will be able to author content in a Word document with text and graphics and publish that content directly to Content Management Server 2002. In such a case, users will have an option in the File menu in Word that brings up a wizard to help format and set parameters for publishing content to the Web.
