OT Intranets (Content management??)

[Stuart Whyte <lists@xxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I have been tasked with setting up an intranet type system at work.  The
current system is a MS word index document which links to lots of other
word
documents.  The communications department here think it is a great system,
but I am forever removing file locks on the documents.

What I would like to do is move this all to web content.  Ideally each user
that writes content should be able to do so in word then publish to the
site.  Is this what a content management system/server does??

I have thought about getting the users to just save their documents as
HTML,
but in trying to do this I have managed to confuse at least 4 people. (I
know this is sad, but this is the type of people Im dealing with)

We are a small (Under 100 employees) company, so a multi-thousand pound
product is too much.

Anyone have any views??

Thx for any advice.

Stuart
