RE: Anything better for Word2003 conditional text than LiveLinx?

Hi Peter,
Don't know much about it, but at May's STC Summit Conference, there was a
vendor showing a plug-in for Word that has content reuse and conditional
text. They showed it with Word 2007; don't know if it works with 2003.
Here's the website: http://www.thirtysix.net/.
If anyone is using this tool, I'd be interested to hear from you whether
it's the magic that the vendors are promising :-).
