The session began with a presentation of eXtyles improvements and new features by Elizabeth Blake of Inera. Many of the enhancements described were a direct result of user suggestions made at the 2007 eXtyles User Group Meeting.

The midday session was devoted to breakout group discussions and a general overview of user requests for new features and improvements.

Louise Adam, Assistant Director of the Editorial and Production Department at the Federation of Animal Science Societies, spoke about the use of eXtyles and Typefi in an NLM XML and InDesign workflow.

Nathan Day of Inera unveiled the new eXtyles Word 2007 interface, and Bruce Rosenblum of Inera spoke about recent Word 2007 developments relevant to scholarly publishers.
