The MarkLogic Sample Authoring App for Word was designed as a jump start for anyone doing Microsoft Office development in MarkLogic, showcasing the use of the MarkLogic Toolkit for Word in MarkLogic version 8 with Office 2007 or 2010. The toolkit uses content controls -- individual controls that you can add and customize in templates, forms, and documents -- to let authors enrich Word documents, and associate and manage metadata. In addition, users can search and reuse existing controls and their metadata in new Word documents.
