The following best practices were developed that can be used in any publishing workflow to ensure content is consistently styled. The following guidelines are based on a Word-to-XML conversion process using [DITA For Publishers](http://dita4publishers.sourceforge.net/), which transforms embedded Word XML to true XML by taking advantage of style-to-tag mapping. All publishers can benefit from this approach, even if an early-XML workflow is not yet on the radar (though it SHOULD be!). What you get out of using real templated Word documents is **consistency**. Whether it's to generate XML or deliver to an offshore production service, consistent styles make downstream processing easier and allow for automation. ### Best Practices for MS Word Authoring by Harvey Greenberg and [Paul Eisenberg](http://www.linkedin.com/in/peisenberg) #### Context - MS Word 2003 and above use docx as default format. - A docx file is actually a zip – you can rename foo.docx to foo.zip, unzip it, and see what’s there. - Word to XML conversion process using DITA4Publishers transforms the embedded Word XML to “real” XML using style-to-tag mapping.[![DITA For Publishers](https://blog.orbistechnologies.com/hs-fs/file-13544066-gif/images/dita4pubs_2012.gif)](https://blog.reallysi.com/how-successful-publishers-deliver-content-rsuite-cms-and-dita-for-publishers/?utm_campaign=2012-web-site&utm_source=white%20paper&Preview=true) #### **Templates in MS Word** - Whereas “template” often means a starting document, in MS Word a template is a dotx file. - All documents are attached to a template – the default is normal.dotx. - Templates may be stored in the user-defined template location (Word | Options | Advanced | File Locations), or in a workgroup location (generally a shared network drive). - Best practice is to use a template specific for the project. #### ** ****Viewing, Applying, and Creating Styles** - Best way to view styles throughout the document is using Draft view with style pane; this needs to be set in Word | Options | Advanced. - CNTL + SHIFT + S will pop up style dialog appropriate to cursor position; both para and character styles will show up. - To create new styles, process is: #### ****** ****Some Tips and Tricks** - Templates may contain boilerplate text as well as styles; you can provide starting title, standard sections, etc, for authors to change. - You can assign keyboard shortcuts and also change the quick style bar. - A style can automatically assign style for the next para (e.g., Title can create Heading 1). - A shortcut to a macro that does Edit | PasteSpecial | Unformatted Text is your best friend - Probably best to avoid use of the default “Normal” para style, because it may not be clear whether para should be normal or you just didn’t take any action; perhaps use something like BodyPara in its place. - Do not use empty paras for spacing; assign spacing via the style. - Adding formatting to the styles so that the author can tell immediately that a heading is a heading and a list is a list, etc, is good. - **Trying to replicate the look and feel of the product is wasteful and can distract authors from the task at hand, which is good content**. I hope these best practices will be useful in your publishing workflows.
