My First Post Pasted from WordWalkingStick

холни масиWordWalkingStick 10-21-2010 10-42-07 AMThere are a happy few people on this planet who expressed concern about the next version of CleanXHTML. So today finds me pasting this Blog post into WordPress from my next version of CleanXHTML: WordWalkingStick. This project will be released on CodePlex.com (along with my other projects) ‘soon.’ This project will be released under the same license as Eric White’s license for PowerTools for Open XML, the Ms-PL. This is done out of respect for portions of WordWalkingStick depending on PowerTools for Open XML.

Here are some random points about WordWalkingStick, written just before midnight:

  • WordWalkingStick is based on .NET 4, using MEF, WPF and PowerTools for Open XML.
  • This application has a scope larger than CleanXHTML as it provides a small framework for rolling up all of my Office Word customizations. Previously, my practice depended on customizing Normal.dot.
  • This move puts me out of the commercial software business (based on a business model from the early 21st century).

Using my “Swiss Army Knife” (my stick) for Office Word is supposed to make customizing faster and easy to migrate to future versions of Office (until it moves entirely to the cloud or VSTO is discontinued as we now know it).
