Hi,

I have seen the demo on the Solutions Accelerator for
Proposals. It was mentioned that it uses the smart docs
technology of word to be able to assign document sections
to specific users. When I edit a document using word, I
can't find it in the Document Actions Pane. Is it
something you install or is it something that should be
developed and use as a template?

Please help.

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Hi icheng,

Smart documents are documents that are programmed to give you help as you
use them. Several types of documents, such as forms and templates, work
well as smart documents.

Smart documents are especially effective when used throughout a process.
For example, your company may have a process for filling out annual
employee review forms, and you may already use a Microsoft Word template
for this purpose. If that template is turned into a smart document, it can
be connected to a database that automatically fills in some of the required
information, such as your name, employee number, manager's name, and so on.
When you complete the form, the smart document can display a button that
allows you to send it on to the next step in the process. Because the smart
document knows who your manager is, it can automatically route itself to
that person. And, no matter who has it, the smart document knows where it
is in the review process and what needs to happen next.

To add an XML expansion pack for a smart document, you must have an XML
expansion pack available. Contact your Information Technology (IT)
professional for the location of your smart document solution.

Add and attach a smart document solution

When you add a smart document solution, it appears in your list of
available solutions whenever you open a new smart document. To use a
solution, you must attach it to your document.

On the Data menu, point to XML, and then click XML Expansion Packs.
Click Add.
In the Install XML Expansion Pack dialog box, find the location of the
manifest for the solution you want to add.
Click Open.
In the Available XML expansion packs list, click the solution you want to
attach to your document.
Click Attach.

Please let me know has this helped You...
Thank you...

Hi Raghu,

In otherwords, the smart document template used to Assign
sections to team members from the word task pane, in the
Solutions Accelerator demo
(http://www.microsoft.com/office/solutions/accelerators/pr
oposals/default.mspx) was programmed and not built-in
word 2003. I was looking for the XML expansion pack for
that. I don't think it was included in the download
version or I just missed it. Do you know if its available
for donwload? The sample XML expansion packs that you
mentioned that helped out fill-out forms were included in
the proposal download.

Thanks for a very comprehensive information.

Iris
