Gad Epstein, Industry Market Development Manager at Microsoft, has posted a great video on his blog on how SharePoint can be used in conjunction with SmartDocs to publish new documents from existing content fragments (what we call "snippets" in SmartDocs).
In the short video below, content fragments are managed within SharePoint, allowing us to assemble content that is relevant to a specific role and by a content segment. Then, using the ThirtySix Software SmartDocs solution, a user can easily find relevant content and assemble a document. Since SmartDocs is using SharePoint as a fragment (snippet) repository, the SharePoint content management features can be respected within SmartDocs.
We encourage you to head on over to Gad's blog and check it out. The video is under four minutes, and gives you a quick sneek peak as to how you can use SmartDocs to search for already authored and approved content directly from Microsoft Word, and then drag-and-drop that content into your Word document.
