LineupNX v2 Update

New support for Word 2007

The world's most popular word processor changed. So did we.

LineupNX 2 can work with scripts written with Word 2007, using the new DOCX format. This is in addition to the existing support for earlier versions of Word along with WordPerfect, Open Office Writer and WordPad.

When Microsoft released Word 2007 they made a substantial change to the file format, opting to follow the lead of products like Open Office and adopt a compressed XML file specification. That gave us a small challenge at Baobab, the developers of LineupNX. We have always given our users the option to use the word processor of their choice for writing pack and documentary copy. LineupNX then manages the naming and locations of these files, and opens and closes them for you. When an item moves through the show development cycle, LineupNX makes sure the copy follows.

LineupNX finds your word processors
We have now included that potential for Word 2007 as well. When LineupNX starts on your desktop it looks for installed word processors and when it finds them, makes them available. Now with LineupNX you have a choice... Word or Word 2007 DOCX (as well as WordPerfect and Open Office Writer).

And remember, if you have Word (any version) installed, LineupNX can use its spell-check program to correct spelling of your teleprompter copy as well. Again, rather than start from scratch, we chose to save you money and us development time by going with what is already in the market place.
