I don't know what is the point of these demos when author doesn't offer any help.

Obviously he works for Microsoft so I guess he should be given "Not my job" award of the year.

2 years after this is still demo thing that no one can't install in its own environment.

I have working Dspace repository and but this add-in cannot even be loaded or even configured and help is nowhere to be found.

so, still, what do I need to purchase to be able to write scientific works, articles, formulas, etc.

link to order, price ? Is this any better than Scientific Workplace 5.5 ???

This is really impressive, I can see it being very valuable to me as a Medical student

Two questions though:

1) Is there a plan for how you will get word spread about this product? It would be a shame to see it ignored.

2) Does this perhaps indicate that there's still work going on with regards to how Medical users use Word 2007- if the program lacks ONE thing it is the ability to perform Vancouver referencing (used by almost all of the medical journals).
